My name is Josh Seckinger, and like you, I earn my living guiding on the rivers here in Montana. I believe it's time we had a voice from our community in the Montana State Legislature, and that's one of many reasons why I'm running.
I do not want to get into partisan politics here, but wouldn't it be nice to have someone from our side of the argument at the table? Someone who believes that biologists should manage our fisheries, not wealthy landowners, mega-outfitters, or pressure from the government. Someone who thinks that perhaps instead of regulating and taxing guides and outfitters to death, the state should, at a minimum, enforce the new regulations on the general public. Someone who believes that maybe, just maybe, it should be a little harder to get a guide license in the first place.
This isn't easy, and asking you to support me may be a bridge too far, but I believe we can change this industry and our regulations to secure a sustainable, profitable future for all of us. I hope you will support me and donate below.
