Jobs, wages & cost of living

My fellow Montanans

Q3. What economic policies will you pursue to help Americans who are concerned about their economic prospects in the coming years?

Kyle Austin will eliminate big government... We need government to get out of the way and allow business's to get back to doing business. For example.. the federal government gives $93 million dollars to the Montana Dept. of Labor and Industry each year. This is wasteful spending, government overreach, and bad for Montana business's. We need to cut the $93 million dollars and give it back to the tax payers. Austin will also promote a zero tariff trade policy. This will lower the cost of living, lower inflation, improve our exports, improve our foreign relations through diplomacy and stimulate competition on a world market.

Q4. What measures do you believe states and/or the federal government should take to ensure elections are secure while facilitating the ability of all eligible voters to cast their ballots?

Kyle Austin believes in the SAVE ACT. Only legal United States citizens should vote in our elections! Having a valid ID does not prohibit voter access. You have to have an ID for many every day activities, it is not a burden to have an ID to vote. I do believe with our advanced tech age, the future of America should be able to create a secure digital voting platform that not only verifies legal residency, it will ensure voter integrity, it will allow voter access, and will also be a more cost effective voting method for the tax payers. Vote outside the box this primary election, Vote Kyle Austin for United States Senate.. Montana Value's... Montana's Future
