Transparent Election Initiative Event in Billings
On January 31, 2026, the Lincoln Center in Billings hosted a significant event featuring Former Governor Marc Racicot, Senator Jon Tester, and Gary Buchanan. The gathering aimed to promote The Montana Plan, a campaign finance reform initiative designed to reduce corporate and dark money influence in politics.
Event Highlights
- Speakers: Former Governor Marc Racicot, Senator Jon Tester, and Gary Buchanan.
- Location: Lincoln Center, 415 N 30th St, Billings, MT 59101-1252.
- Purpose: To discuss and advocate for The Montana Plan, focusing on ending corporate and dark money influence in politics.
The Transparent Election Initiative emphasizes that elections should be decided by voters, not by the size of corporate checkbooks. Their approach leverages each state’s authority to define corporate powers, creating a pathway to campaign finance reform that doesn’t rely on restricting speech but instead focuses on not granting political spending powers to corporations.
