Ryan Zinke-Right for Montana
Welcome On Board!
“Far and away the best prize that life has to offer is the chance to work hard at work worth doing.” Theodore Roosevelt
Welcome to the website! After proudly serving in the Navy SEALs for over twenty-two years, I decided to come home to the Flathead Valley where my family has called home for three generations. My decision to return home was based a concern that the Valley is becoming harder and harder for Montana families, like mine, to afford to live here. The recent rise in housing costs, loss of good paying timber and manufacturing jobs, and increased fees and taxes have threatened the livelihood for traditional working families. It’s not too late to keep our heritage strong! This election is not about being red or blue, it is about principle and ensuring the Montana we love today is a Montana that our children can live, work and play in tomorrow. Quality education, good paying jobs, and responsible conservation are critical in building a strong and prosperous future. We must also recognize the importance of creating opportunity over entitlement, responsible growth over short term profit, accountability over litigation, and personal freedom over government control. I am confident that together we can keep Montana the “Last Best Place.”
My top priorities are:
- Increase teachers salaries so that our kids have quality education
- Create good paying jobs so our kids can work in Montana
- Reduce property taxes so families can afford to live here
- Create incentives for small business investment and growth
- Ensure responsible conservation and growth policies
As you look through this website, I encourage you ask questions and let me know your thoughts. I understand that representing the citizens of our District is an honor as well as a great responsibility. If elected, I promise transparency, fairness, and to always represent the best interest of our families living in our Great State.
All the Best,
Ryan
