There is a lot of talk about the three-ring circus that is the national election, but not much about the local candidates. Our state legislature will likely impact your life more than Trump or Hilary will, and we have some interesting folks running this year. In Miles City, we will be voting for someone to represent House District 38. We have a choice between a locksmith incumbent or the challenging farmer.
Ken Holmlund was elected by narrow margins in 2014. You can see the bills Ken was associated with here: http://leg.mt.gov/css/Ses...WSID=16505 Seems as though he was primarily concerned with locksmithing and gambling laws.
Ken's opponent, Steve Muggli, is seeking his first term in the state legislature. Steve has picked up a few endorsements, which can be found on his Facebook page. https://www.facebook.com/...i/?fref=ts
Steve has knocked on my door a few times now and, after talking with him, he definitely has my vote. I really respect his experience as an employer and business owner. I mean, who better to represent Eastern Montana than a farmer? I do not think Ken has made an effort to talk to me at the door, but I have seen his ads in the Star and heard his ad on the radio and I was not impressed. He is really talking up his experience as a legislator, but he only has one term under his belt, and from what I can tell he did not show any leadership in Helena.
Any thoughts on this race?
