Big Sky 55+ is proud to endorse Rina Fontana Moore for House District 20. A lifelong resident of Great Falls, Rina has demonstrated unwavering dedication to her community through years of public service, notably as Cascade County Clerk and Recorder for 16 years. Her deep roots in the area, as well as her professional background as a licensed appraiser and land surveyor, make her uniquely qualified to address key issues like affordable housing and property taxes that affect everyday Montanans.

 

Rina is a proven leader with a strong track record of transparency and accountability. As Elections Administrator, she ensured that Cascade County’s election process was fully transparent, inviting anyone with questions to learn firsthand how the system worked. This commitment to openness and integrity is exactly what Montanans need in Helena, where Rina will stand up for the values of fairness and accessibility that are at the heart of our democracy.

 

One of Rina’s strongest attributes is her determination to protect voting rights. When the state (both the legislature and the Secretary of State) attempted to remove absentee ballots, Rina worked tirelessly with local legislators to pass bills safeguarding access to the ballot for all Montanans. Her leadership on this front is vital as our state continues to face challenges to democratic participation.

 

Rina Moore is not just a defender of our voting rights; she is also a strong advocate for working families. She understands that the rising costs of housing and living are placing a tremendous burden on Montana’s seniors and families alike. In contrast to her opponent, who is backed by politicians prioritizing tax breaks for large corporations, Rina is committed to lowering property taxes and finding practical solutions to make housing more affordable.

 

At Big Sky 55+, we believe that Rina Fontana Moore embodies the qualities of a true public servant—someone who will bring integrity, problem-solving skills, and a deep commitment to her community to the legislature. We are confident that Rina will fight tirelessly to protect our public schools, uphold constitutional freedoms, and support policies that benefit all Montanans, not just the wealthy elite.

 

In a time when our state faces critical challenges, from the rising cost of living to threats to our democratic processes, Rina Moore is exactly the kind of strong, principled leader we need in Helena. We urge the voters of House District 20 to elect Rina Fontana Moore and ensure that their voices are represented by someone who will always put the people first.
