Montana Speaker of the House
I have worked with Rep. Gist for multiple sessions, this last session in leadership roles. I have watched the passion with which Rep. Gist approaches the legislative process and the respect he has earned from his colleagues. These traits make him a very effective voice for his constituents.
I wholeheartedly endorse Rep. Steve Gist for the 2024 general elections. His proven track record should excite all rational Montanans to support him in any and all ways possible. Montana is better off because of Rep. Gist's service in the Montana House.
Sincerely,
Matt Regier
Speaker Montana House of Representatives

Steve:
I am pleased to endorse your candidacy for re-election to the Montana House of Representatives. It has been a pleasure to work with you to advance conservative principles in the 2021 and 2023 sessions. You also did a distinguished job as a Whip in the House Republican leadership team in 2023-24, which I have personal knowledge of as a member of your Whip Group.
I look forward to serving with you again in the 2025 Session.
