The heavy rain and floods in Yellowstone National Park have resulted in historic damage and devastation to the surrounding areas. Homes are being swept away, residents and tourists have needed rescue evacuation, and the surrounding roads are buckling under the conditions. The Northern Entrance to the National Park may be closed for the rest of the year, with potentially devastating effects on the local economies of our gateway communities.

FEMA and the Montana National Guard are rescuing people and surveying the damage, but our Governor was nowhere to be found. It turns out, he was on vacation in Italy, and instead of rushing home to help lead his state through an unprecedented crisis, he stayed abroad, purposefully keeping Montanans in the dark about where he was and who was actually in charge.

In times of crisis and devastation, we need to be certain that our leaders will be on the ground and making decisions to keep those they represent safe from further harm. Instead, we seem to have a pattern here where those that ‘lead’ us are often nowhere to be found when disaster strikes.

We must hold our governor accountable and elect representatives that will show up for Montanans.

Thanks,
