Montana Legislative Candidate Survey Results Are Now Available

With the 2024 election just weeks away, Grow Montana is excited to share the results of our recent survey with this year’s Montana Legislative Candidates. We invited both House and Senate candidates to complete an emailed survey to share their views on important food and agriculture issues. The survey was also meant as an opportunity to introduce the coalition to candidates and share a few resources to learn more about the work our coalition cares about, such as soil health, food and nutrition access, and mid-scale processing. 

The survey and individual candidate results are available here.

Candidates were informed that survey results would be shared with coalition members and the public. Candidates were also informed their responses would be used solely for educational and informative purposes and will not be used as a scorecard or endorsement of individual candidates.  

If you are unsure who your legislative candidate is, you can find out by entering your voting address in the search feature at the Montana Free Press’s Election Guide. If you would like assistance reaching out to your candidates, email the coalition using our Contact Form.  

This is the second legislative candidate survey Grow Montana has completed in the last five years. The first survey was conducted in 2020 and received just over 50 responses from candidates. This year’s survey received over 70 responses, a sign that potential legislators are gaining interest in learning more about local food system policy work!

Grow Montana is thrilled by the number of candidates who requested more information about issues and expressed interest in working with the coalition. The coalition is grateful for the time all candidates took to share their opinions and look forward to the opportunity to continue our work building strong partnerships across the political aisle. 

If you have any questions about the survey, please reach out to us HERE.
