A Montana Case Study in Bipartisanship

In the spirit of ANA’s new tagline: “How we’re doing and where we’re going,” this week Justin speaks with Cascade County Commissioner Joe Briggs and Missoula County Commissioner Josh Slotnick. Though these two come from different political parties, they came together to work on improving Montana’s tax system. This collaboration shows us that cooperation across party lines is not only possible, but perhaps critical to our future.

In this episode, Josh and Joe discuss how their partnership began and the challenges they faced getting buy-in from other political leaders. The two talk about the role of a county commissioner and their ideas on how to bridge the divide of partisan politics, something they both think is heavily influenced by social media and national politics.
