Lynch and Bidegaray will protect our freedoms
Montanans have an opportunity to elect two experienced and independent justices to the Montana Supreme Court who respect our constitution and constitutional rights. They are Jeremiah Lynch and Katherine Bidegaray.
Jeremiah Lynch, a Butte native and federal court magistrate for 13 years, is running for Chief Justice of the Montana Supreme Court. He was a law clerk for former Chief Justice Paul Hatfield.
Lynch had a private law practice for 10 years. He served on the Montana Board of Public Education and the Montana Board of Environmental Review. His 28 years of public service give him a broad understanding Montana issues.
Lynch says, “I have only one purpose: to protect the 1972 Montana State Constitution.” That includes protecting our right to privacy and women’s rights to make health care decisions. “Independence, impartiality, and integrity” are keystones of his campaign.
Also on the ballot is Katherine Bidegaray. A Sidney native, Bidegaray has served as a judge for more than 20 years. She is a District Court Judge in eastern Montana.
Bidegaray will respect the Montana State Constitution without partisanship. She opposes government interference in personal medical decisions. Both Lynch and Bidegaray emphasize keeping partiality and partisan politics out of the courtroom.
Katherine Bidegaray describes her candidacy as “rooted in a firm commitment to the rule of law.” She also stands for “fairness, respect, and impartiality.”
