I’m Kobi Craddock, and I’m running to represent Montana House District 70 because I believe the people who live, work, ranch, raise families, and build their lives here deserve a strong voice in Helena.
I’m a fifth-generation Montanan, a journeyman plumber and pipefitter, a union member, and a small cattle producer. My background has put me on job sites, in pastures, around kitchen tables, and alongside people from every walk of life. Those experiences have shaped how I look at public service: listen first, understand the problem, and then get to work finding a solution.
I know what it means to earn a living with your hands. I know the challenges facing agriculture, working families, small businesses, and rural communities. I also know that good ideas don’t belong to one political party. If something is good for House District 70 and good for Montana, I am willing to work with anyone to get it done.
My priorities are rooted in the communities I hope to represent: strengthening Montana agriculture, protecting access to public lands, supporting our skilled trades and workforce, keeping rural communities economically viable, defending private property rights, improving opportunities for young Montanans, and making sure state government remains accountable to the people it serves.
I believe Montana is strongest when we produce more of what we need here at home, invest in our own people, protect the land and resources that make this state special, and make it possible for working Montanans to build a future here.
I’m not running to represent a political party first. I’m running to represent the people of House District 70.
My commitment is simple: listen, work hard, tell you where I stand, and put Montanans first.
