Neal Ganser, Republican for Montana Senate District 33

More money in your control.

Money earned by daily toil is put to best use by those who earned it. The economy grows when earners have more to save, invest and spend. All these are impacted by confiscatory tax burdens. Neal has started, built, invested in, advised on, run, and sold several successful businesses including Ganser Properties (Bozeman’s first small business 'incubator' complex in 1980), Wildrye Distillery, Montana Urethane Supply and CORBOND Corporation. For decades, Ganser’s companies and mentorship have put money into small and medium businesses and provided jobs in the valley. He once hired a young man hitch-hiking West on I-90, gave him a job sweeping his factory, and then provided training for increased opportunity. That man stayed and worked for his company for six years. Ganser agrees with Goodwill in their mission, "good jobs change lives."

More decisions up to you.

Ganser is an advocate for individual liberty, self-governance and rights of property. He believes real economic and job growth requires vibrant private sector businesses and choice in education. As a parent, he supported his family in vastly different interests from pilot training to wooden-boat building, engineering to business school, journalism to real estate. He believes that decisions should reside as close as possible to the individual.

Reversing broken policies.

Ganser first followed his life-long interest in the civil arena by running for a Montana House seat in 2016. He is no stranger to public service. He served in the MT National Guard in medical. As chairman of the National Building Envelope Technical Committee for nearly six years, Ganser took on the entrenched but obsolete fiberglass industry and pushed allies and competitors to new levels of understanding in the building sciences. Lecturing across the U.S. and Canada, he was extremely effective in getting the Building Industry to understand the principals of effective Climate Isolation and improve codes and regulations accordingly. He wants to apply these skills to property taxes, healthcare, immigration, and affordable housing.

Building a future for Montanans

In 1974, Ganser came to MSU School of Architecture with his wife Jean and their six-week-old son. They were fully captivated by the mountains, lakes, sky and open space. As a Montana outdoor enthusiast, father of five, and grandfather of eight, he is committed to protecting the beauty of home and access to its public lands and waters. He supports these next generations by his work in energy conservation. As CEO of CORBOND Corporation, he was instrumental nationwide in changing the way modern homes are insulated for energy efficiency and sustainability. The cleanest energy is the energy you don’t use because you don’t need to, and no one in America has done more to reduce energy use in buildings.

Making informed decisions.

Legislative decisions require know-how, experience, and working together. In running successful businesses Ganser routinely demonstrated the requirement of fiscal responsibility. He’s also made decades of fruitful decisions on the prioritization of investment in time and resources. When it comes to working with others, he's known for practicing principled negotiations. At a insulation industry educational forum, one attendee said, "Ganser, you'll never make it in this industry...you're too nice." He did make it in the industry with a strong legacy of competence, technical know-how, service and impact—all qualities he’ll put to use on your behalf.
