Our Mission

Flathead First is a grassroots, conservative arena for thoughtful engagement to better the Flathead Valley and Montana.

We expect those we elect to put the Flathead first, ahead of personal agendas and special interests; to provide good governance, principled leadership and fiscal responsibility, with accountability to voters and taxpayers; to preserve and enhance our quality of life with wisdom and foresight; to value and respect our public servants and all citizens; to faithfully steward the nonpartisan institutions our community depends upon.

Flathead First is an all-volunteer group of longtime Flathead Valley residents and community participants. We hold accountable those we have elected to represent us. Our selection of candidates to support or oppose is based on careful consideration of their positions on issues of local concern, leadership, experience, voting record, electability and willingness to work cooperatively, in good faith, to craft sensible solutions.
