Independent ThoughtMaking Montana AFFORDABLE Again - GOP Policies Called Out By Lt. Governor Candidate Raph GraybillDemocratic governors were in control of Montana for 16 years prior to Greg Gianforte winning in 2020. Gianforte is seeking another four years for the Republicans, but Democrats are pushing for change.
Ryan Busse is running for the position with his Lt. Governor, Raph Graybill. Speaking in Glendive this week, Graybill accused Gianforte of raising property taxes and creating hardships for low-income families.
“Greg Gianforte raises property taxes on Montana homeowners by as much as 111 percent. The best advertising for the Busse-Graybill campaign that’s ever occurred is the government sending out tax bills to folks,” said Graybill.

Stein’s application seeks to use a new Georgia law that allows a political party to get on the state ballot if the party is on the ballot in at least 20 other states. Democrats say Stein’s application, filed by the Georgia Green Party, is invalid because the Georgia branch is not affiliated with the national Green Party.

Nice 2 Meet UEP. 15: Race in America with Desmond Price of the "Independent Thought" PodcastIn season 1, episode 15 I had the opportunity to chat it up with Desmond Price of the "Independent Thought" podcast.
