    Updated Dec 12, 2023

    In recent years, individuals and families here in Havre who receive their health care through Medicaid or the Children’s Health Insurance Program have not been required to re-enroll annually.

    Carrie Classon|Updated Dec 12, 2023

    I tend to be a Christmas maximalist; at least if you ask my husband, Peter, that’s what he would say. Peter would dispense with the tree, the presents and most of the outings.

  • Protecting the American Dream

    Updated Dec 12, 2023

    A question I am often asked is “Why? Why are you running?” The answer is simple: These United States of America, all she represents, and all of the opportunities she offers have been good to me, and I need to give back. I need to serve. I need to feel that I deserve all that she has offered without asking anything in return. I need to know that someone like me, from meager beginnings, an unplanned pregnancy to an unwed teenage mother, someone without money or connections, can still work hard and build the American Dream. I kn...
