🔦Candidate Spotlight: Lyn Hellegaard, House District 89
Lyn Hellegaard didn't set out to be a politician. She watched her friends and neighbors in Missoula get squeezed harder every year by higher taxes and out-of-control government spending.
So she decided to do something about it.
Drawing on her background in banking and small business ownership, Lyn built a reputation for fiscal responsibility — first on the Missoula City Council, then in the Montana Legislature.
In office, Lyn has:
Cut burdensome regulations that were driving up costs for homeowners
Secured funding for veterans service centers in every Montana county
Sponsored legislation to strengthen election integrity
Her priorities for HD 89:
Protecting public access to Montana's lands for future generations
Expanding school choice so families have real educational options
Delivering tax relief for working families and small businesses
Lyn Hellegaard: proven fiscal conservative, longtime Montanan, ready to keep fighting for HD 89.
