Big Sky 55+ is proud to extend our enthusiastic support for Janna Hafer, an independent candidate for House District 51. Janna's candidacy represents a crucial opportunity to restore common-sense leadership to Helena at a time when our state desperately needs it.

 

Under the current Republican supermajority, Montana has faced significant setbacks. Our seniors lost access to essential care facilities, taxes were raised on hard-working Montanans, and the state squandered a $2.5 billion surplus that could have been invested in healthcare, infrastructure, and senior services. Janna Hafer stands in opposition to these policies, offering voters a fresh perspective rooted in fairness, accountability, and real solutions.

 

After reviewing Janna's responses to our 2024 Legislative Questionnaire, we are confident that she will fight for the interests of older Montanans. Janna has committed to:

​

• Fully funding senior long-term care services to ensure we don’t lose more nursing homes and assisted living facilities in the state.

• Supporting Medicaid expansion to maintain access to healthcare for thousands of Montanans, particularly in rural areas.

• Championing tax fairness by lowering property tax burdens on middle- and lower-income families while ensuring the wealthiest pay their fair share.

• Expanding affordable housing options, particularly for older adults and working families, through innovative programs like housing tax credits.

• Defending Montana's unique Constitution and supporting legislation to protect our right to a clean, healthful environment.

 

Janna Hafer understands the importance of supporting seniors and rural communities, as well as preserving the values and traditions that make Montana special. Her commitment to bipartisan collaboration and independent thinking makes her the candidate we need to break through the partisan gridlock and advocate for a Montana where every citizen can thrive.

​

We strongly urge the voters of House District 51 to support Janna Hafer and give her the opportunity to bring about the changes that Montana's seniors and communities deserve.
