“Luke has proven himself a steady community leader on the school board during unprecedented times. Serving in the legislature requires fortitude and strategic thinking. Luke's work demonstrates his much-needed ability to get complex policy across the finish line to improve the lives of Montanans.”
Laura Smith, HD 79 Representative and SD 40 Senate Candidate
“If we want to improve our politics, we must elect the right kind of people – those who put our public good ahead of personal politics. Luke is a listener. He is thoughtful. He is respectful of others while at the same time holding true to his own values. He is a consensus builder and oriented toward progress. Luke is deeply qualified and will be a great legislator.”
Chuck Hunter, Former Montana Democratic Minority Leader
“As a long time advocate of public education, I know how vital it is to have someone with his breadth of knowledge and understanding of public education policy in the legislature. Luke's expertise will enable him to start fighting on day one for our students and our community and protect our constitutional promise of a quality education for all Montanans.”
Moffie Funk, Former Montana Legislator
“Luke deliberately and thoroughly explored the complex issues before the board and paid respectful attention to everyone who came forward to express their views. With school funding such a critical issue facing our community, Luke's experience as a trustee is invaluable, and he is the only candidate with a strong understanding of how the state funds public education. We need legislators like Luke who will work collaboratively for solutions to big problems.”
Lisa Cordingley
“Luke has both a strong interest in the intricacies of public policy and, most importantly, the process through which ideas are developed, details are negotiated, and legislation becomes law. His experience and temperament will be extremely beneficial in the legislature. We need more people in that body who understand what it takes to create good, thoughtful policy that will benefit all Montanans.”
Rick and Jane Hays
“Luke is exactly the kind of leader we need during these challenging political times. I had hoped he might one day run for higher office. I couldn’t be more thrilled that his time has come. Please join me in electing this exceptional leader to HD 79. Montana needs him now.”
Sarah Sullivan, Former Helena School Board Trustee
“Luke embodies the qualities we need in a legislator: integrity, dedication, and a genuine commitment to serve people. Luke has demonstrated his passion for making positive change and addressing the issues that matter most to our community. His knowledge of the challenges facing our education system uniquely positions him to advocate for policies that will benefit students, teachers, and families across Helena.”
Morgan Taylor
“Luke is an intelligent and hard worker; he is honest and direct; he honors the notion public service; he shows up in the trenches, gets involved, and remains hilarious; he can think outside the box...he is balanced, rational, and wants to work for the people for selfless reasons.”
Matthieu Oppedahl
“Luke learned the ropes of being a good school board member quickly. It is a wild mix of working for students, parents, district staff and the general public. To be effective it requires mastery of the intricacies of school finance and all of the systems that underlie how a school district actually works. Luke did all of this extremely well. How fortunate for us that Luke is willing to apply those skills to serving as our representative in House District 79.”
Joe Furshong
“I observed Luke champion policies that prioritize adequate funding, fair teacher compensation, student achievement and inclusive learning environments. Luke’s vision extends beyond rhetoric; he has demonstrated a proactive approach to addressing the challenges facing our schools and I am confident he will bring that proactive approach to the state legislature.”
Sue Corrigan, Kalispell School Board Trustee
“Luke understands the difficult issues facing local families. Luke is a proven candidate who will provide the leadership necessary to earnestly work across the aisle to get the real work done for Helenans and all Montanans. His sincerity and integrity are without match, and his intellect and mettle make him an exceptional candidate. One that we can trust to get the job done. The one that Helena deserves.”
Rune Vander Wey
