Infrastructure & Technology
Jon's #ConnectMT Initiative will connect Montanans—both in person and online—through 21st Century technology and infrastructure. His plan will expand Montana's access to reliable internet, responsibly invest in roads, bridges, airports, guarantee that rural calls can be completed, and strengthen local broadcasting.
Jon believes that strong infrastructure can help businesses create jobs, allow students to reach their full potential, and spur growth among local economies across Montana.
Jon understands that for Montana businesses to succeed in the modern economy, they need access to the latest technology so they can sell their world-class products across the globe.
Using his seat on the powerful Senate Appropriations Committee, Jon has successfully secured grant funding for Montana airports, transportation projects, broadband, and water systems.
