Why they’re
Sensible
Massie is one of the rare legislators who arrives in Pierre with genuine technical expertise in the tax code — a 24-year career at the Department of Revenue gives him credibility that campaign slogans cannot manufacture. His 2025 small-business tax exemption (HB1245) and landowner representation bill (SB15) show a preference for targeted, constituency-grounded relief over broad spending programs. His farm and ranch background keeps him connected to the agricultural economy that drives District 33. A pragmatic, detail-oriented pick for voters who want someone who actually reads the fine print.
