Oct 16, 2024

Josh Seckinger is running for the Montana House of Representatives, District 62, for the second time. Fifteen years ago, he made the leap to Montana, leaving behind his Florida roots and Wisconsin upbringing. At 23, he settled in the Gallatin Valley and has since taken on a variety of roles, from seismic mapping and food delivery to working for an environmental lawyer. For the past five years, he’s been a fly-fishing guide, navigating some of Montana’s most treasured waters, including the Gallatin, Smith, Madison, and Yellowstone rivers. Frequent travels and a passion for the outdoors have deepened his understanding of Montana, while his engaging and extroverted personality has helped him connect with its people. Through years of talking, listening, and engaging with the folks of Big Sky Country, Josh has gained a unique perspective on life in Montana and the needs of everyday working Montanans. One thing is clear to him: Montanans are dedicated to ensuring that the last best place remains just that—last and best.
