    About our Greg Gianforte news

    Latest news on Greg Gianforte, Montana Governor, Republican politician, tech entrepreneur, former Congressman and controversial figure known for reporter assault.

    Greg Gianforte, the 25th Governor of Montana since January 2021, recently secured his second term in the November 2024 election, defeating Democratic challenger Ryan Busse. A successful tech entrepreneur before entering politics, Gianforte co-founded RightNow Technologies in 1997, which was later sold to Oracle for $1.5 billion in 2011. His political career includes serving as Montana's at-large congressional representative from 2017 to 2021 before becoming the first Republican governor of Montana since 2005.

    Gianforte's tenure as governor has been marked by significant conservative policy initiatives. He has signed legislation affecting transgender rights, including a 2023 bill banning gender-affirming care for transgender minors. Other notable actions include lifting Montana's statewide mask mandate in February 2021 during the pandemic, signing constitutional carry gun legislation, banning sanctuary cities, implementing voting restrictions, and approving bills limiting abortion access. His administration has consistently aligned with conservative priorities on social issues, economic policy, and regulatory matters.

    Beyond politics, Gianforte is known for his philanthropic activities through the Gianforte Family Foundation, which has assets exceeding $100 million. The foundation supports faith-based organisations, educational initiatives, and local community projects in Montana. Gianforte's personal interests include hunting, which has occasionally generated controversy, including incidents involving the shooting of a radio-collared wolf and mountain lion that had been monitored by conservation authorities.

    Gianforte's public image remains partially defined by a 2017 incident where he physically assaulted Ben Jacobs, a reporter for The Guardian, on the eve of his congressional special election. The incident, which resulted in a misdemeanour assault conviction, has followed his political career, particularly after former President Donald Trump praised the assault during a 2018 campaign rally. Despite this controversy, Gianforte has maintained strong support among Republican voters in Montana, allowing him to advance his political career to the governor's office.

    Our Â鶹´«Ã½ feed on Greg Gianforte provides comprehensive coverage of his ongoing gubernatorial leadership, policy decisions, and political influence in Montana and nationally. With regular updates from diverse sources, the feed tracks Gianforte's legislative priorities, public statements, and governance approach, offering valuable insights for those interested in Montana politics, Republican leadership, and the intersection of business and government.
