I’ve been watching the race for Montana’s Attorney General (AG) this year, and I am very impressed with Tim Fox and the campaign he’s been running.

The Democrats have controlled the AG’s office for the last 16 or so years. It’s almost like they have built a castle in Helena with a moat around it that is only accessible by party insiders.

This year would be a great time to break up the “club” in Helena and get some new blood in there. Tim Fox has he experience to lead the 700 employees at the Montana Department of Justice in the right direction while serving and protecting the people of Montana.

A few months ago, I was impressed with Fox’s response to a group that placed recorded phone calls against him in the primary. This is a violation of Montana law. When Tim Fox becomes the next Attorney General for the State of Montana, it looks like we’ll have someone who will actually enforce this law instead of sending out friendly reminders and looking the other way when their friends break the law. The AG is the state’s chief law enforcement officer.

Fox is the strongest supporter of the second amendment in this race, garnering endorsements from the NRA and MSSA. He pledges to fix the department’s online sex offenders registry and expand the program to include an e-mail notification system if sex offenders move into our neighborhood. As AG, he will be a member of the state land board and he will work to increase our wind, water, natural gas, coal, and oil production in Montana instead of just talking about it.

It won’t be easy for Tim Fox to win this seat after being in a Democrat’s hands for the last 16 years, but he is putting in the hard work to do just that. So, take a look at Fox’s views on his website and, if you can, help him win this race.

More importantly, let’s put a stop to the insider’s club at the Montana Department of Justice in Helena.
