POWER TO THE PEOPLE
“Reliable Leadership. Affordable Energy. A Stronger Future.”
“It’s not just an honor to run,” Pattison says. “It’s a responsibility to stand up for the men and women who keep Montana’s lights on and our economy running.”
Montana’s Energy Future Starts Here
Where We’ve Been
Montana has always been an energy state. Our coal fueled the West. Our hydro dams turned rivers into reliable power. Our natural gas stabilized the grid. We didn’t just keep the lights on—we built the infrastructure of the Northwest.
Yes, the old model—dig it, dam it, drill it, burn it—brought growth. But it also brought challenges: pollution,
inefficiency, and vulnerability to global price swings. Still, Montana delivered. With grit, pride, and reliability.
Focused on the Issues That Power Montana
The Public Service Commission shapes how Montana keeps energy reliable, affordable, and fair. Jeff Pattison will bring accountability and real-world experience to protect ratepayers and strengthen our energy future.
Affordable, Predictable Energy
Jeff will fight unnecessary rate hikes and push for fair cost allocation so rural and fixed-income families are not burdened by volatile energy prices.
Reliable Grid and Rural Service
Pattison supports modernizing transmission lines, expanding natural gas access, and improving broadband reliability so no community is left behind during outages.
Consumer Protection and Transparency
Jeff believes ratepayers deserve open PSC hearings, clear billing, and honest communication from utilities. Accountability starts with transparency.
Responsible Resource Development
Montana’s energy mix must stay balanced with clean coal, natural gas, hydro, renewables, and new technology working together to keep energy reliable and affordable.

Where We Are
Today, the energy landscape is changing. Consumers from the Hi-Line to the state line want power that’s not just reliable—but cleaner, more affordable, and more efficient.
Montana’s resources aren’t vanishing. They’re evolving.
• Coal still powers nearly half our grid—and clean coal tech is cutting emissions like never before. Colstrip
isn’t just a plant—it’s a community.
• Natural gas is the grid’s backbone when renewables fall short. It keeps towns alive and Montanans
employed.
• Hydro power provides 35% of our electricity—clean, steady, and locally rooted.
• Efficiency upgrades are rewriting the rules—more power, less waste.
This isn’t a battle between old and new. It’s a call for smarter energy—where every source works together to keep
Montana strong.
