    Alex Ross|Updated Nov 20, 2017

    Montana Republican Senate candidate James Dean defended the lack of specifics he has given about his policy proposals and personal life at a meeting of the Pachyderm Club Friday and said, if elected, it will be with the support of God and not the voters. "It will be the grace of God that gets me elected and not by anything else," Dean said. "It is not even going to be by all you all liking me or voting for me. It is going to be by the grace of God alone that I am going to get...

  • A special session recap

    Updated Nov 20, 2017

    After going through the 2017 Special Session, all I can say is, “Wow!” It was good to see everyone and work toward a fix for the budget shortfall.

So, we Republicans agreed to go along with them, in exchange for allowing some transfer from low-priority programs to what the Republican p...
