Have you missed me?  I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and a very happy new year!  The 2009 Legislative Session started on January 5th and I was delighted to have the chance to attend.  My dad is doing a fantastic job as Senate Majority Whip and we are all very proud of him!  Here are some pictures of the exciting day:

A Good Man

November 6, 2008 | 33 Comments

I’m back at Notre Dame and thinking about all the wonderful experiences we had during this campaign.  I am so incredibly proud of my dad.  Against all odds, he stood up for what’s right: he fought against the threats and intimidations of the current administration, he stood up against the current 41% increase in state government spending, and he fought for our republican values of lower taxes, fiscal responsibility, and responsible energy development.  It was a good fight and no one could have worked harder or done a better job.  I am so proud to be your daughter, Dad!

“Now is the time to begin rebuilding. Now is the time to recommit to our strong republican ideals: lower taxes, better not bigger government, stronger families, higher paying jobs, and greater freedoms.  We need to rededicate ourselves to those strong Montana values of faith, family and freedom and we need to make sure those values are respected, protected, and defended.”–Roy Brown, 4 November, 2008

“My grandmother is an FDR democrat and growing up we used to hear words about republicans from her that I can’t even repeat.  She lives in Roy Brown’s district and one day I asked her, ‘What do you think of Roy Brown?’  She said, ‘I always vote for Roy Brown.’  I was very surprised: ‘Grandma, you’re a democrat, why do you vote for Roy?’ and she looked at me and said, ‘Because Roy Brown is a good man.’”–Steve Daines, 4 November, 2008

Election Eve

I can’t believe it’s election eve!  I’m so excited but also a little sad that this campaign is coming to an end.  I’ll never forget this marvelous experience!  The candidate convoy had its last sweep through Butte, Bozeman and Billings today.  See you at the victory party!

Pledge to Montana

We were in Bozeman today for a press conference!  My dad, Steve Daines, and many Republican candidates made a pledge to the taxpayers of Montana not to raise taxes while in office.  My dad said that the best remedy for an ailing economy is to lower taxes!

The Browns Vote

October 29, 2008 | Leave a Comment

Today my dad presented his Pledge to Montana!  He promised to provide significant property tax relief, eliminate the business equipment tax so that businesses will have an incentive to come to Montana, create a government accountability portal so that taxpayers can see how the government is spending money, provide a tax credit to businesses that help their employees pay off their student loans, and regain the brucellosis-free status that we lost under the current administration.  He is the best candidate with the best ideas for Montana!
