Issue Position

Rob will work to ensure that Montana's most vulnerable citizens are protected. In his time on the Commission, Rob led the city in ensuring that all of our citizens are treated fairly and equally. He initiated amending our non-discrimination ordinance to remove language targeting members of the LGBT community and recently supported removing the confederate fountain. Rob also uses his legal practice to ensure safety and advance the human rights of all Montanans. Currently, Rob is co-counsel on the case against Andrew Anglin and his white supremecist website, The Daily Stormer. Rob also advocated for an indigent mother faced with with losing her parental rights and secured a ruling from the Montana Supreme Court directing district courts to appoint an attorney to unrepresented people some civil cases. Once elected, Rob will continue to fight for the rights of all Montanans, not just those with money or privilege.

The 2019 session saw critical change in our criminal justice system. Rob worked with sponsors to help change the statue of limitations for sex crimes against minors, he fought against blood draws being taken on the side of the road, and worked to protect Montanans privacy rights.
