Does anyone know how this nominee views issues related to our public lands and wildlife?

I know Dana. She's awesome and an a great lawyer. Pro hunting, steeped in tribal traditions, etc. I worked with her husband on a project a few years ago (He's a journalist). They're both wonderful people. I don't believe that she hunts, but recreates a lot on public lands, and has been eager to work with hunters to help place unwanted skins with Native people looking for them for tribal ceremonies, etc. Strong supporter of public lands and public wildlife.

She is respected. Level headed. Never sure how they will decide issues but she doesn’t radiate crazy.

Sad that we have set the bar at "crazy".

This is a big reason I joined HT. Getting insight into Montana politics and legislative issues from folks I otherwise would never know. Thank you.

I don’t want any judge to be an advocate on anything but it’s good to know she has some insight on and appreciation of those issues. Sometimes people who make the big decisions are far removed from the topic.

I worked with her for a number of years. She is an excellent lawyer and will be a great judge. Even a better person.

Agree. Was just my personal interactions with her. As others have said, she's very well respected in the legal community.
