“People make the profit. By restoring the common good, all communities can thrive!”
Who Is Melissa?
Hi – I’m Melissa Smith – I currently live and work in Great Falls, Montana.
I was raised in Havre, and my Summers were spent with my grandparents in the Flathead Valley. I received a first-class education here, from Kindergarten – High School in Havre, through my BA from UofM in Missoula.
I have been involved in community organizing, running individual campaigns, and non-profits of all kinds since my University days. I have enjoyed that work immensely; however, I am now seeking a seat at the table where laws are made and budgets passed. Our values are reflected by where our money gets spent.
My campaign focuses on three core issues: Conservation, with an emphasis on clean air, water use, public lands access and wildlife habitat; Quality public education, including pre-school education for all Montana students; and re-imagining Public Safety, wherein we protect our communities by emphasizing affordable housing, public health, food security, restorative justice and reducing violent crime.
