Who is Mels, and why are you running for House District 39?

I’m an artist, small business owner, and parent who has raised a family in the Heights. I’m running because I believe we need a representative who prioritizes results over rhetoric. I use a philosophy I call "Locking the Door"—focusing on personal and community responsibility to prevent problems before they become crises. While Helena politicians are often distracted by national culture wars, I am focused on the practical needs of our neighborhood: our homes, our local infrastructure, and our pocketbooks.
