The governor will kick off the 2022 56 County Tour in Custer County tomorrow, with additional stops in Powder River and Carter counties.
In his first year in office, Gov. Gianforte logged thousands of miles on his first tour, meeting with Montanans in each of the state’s 56 counties.
Highlights from the governor’s 2021 tour included a town hall focusing on drought conditions and the modernization of the state’s outdated drought response plan in McCone County, visiting a job center in Ravalli County to discuss the importance of workforce development and trades education, and convening a roundtable of Lincoln County residents about the impact of the extended closure of the U.S.-Canadian border on their families, businesses, and community.
