About Us
The Gallatin Valley Sentinel is a grassroots organization comprised of individuals who represent a wide variety of backgrounds and political beliefs. We are homeowners, business owners, and renters. We are white-collar professionals, blue-collar workers, and stay-at-home moms. Many of us are Christians, and some of us are not. We all reside in the Gallatin Valley, and none of us come from a political background or have held office before. We are you. While we all have different stories and backgrounds, we are bound by common values and a shared concern over the direction the Gallatin Valley is heading in and what the future looks like if the true majority does not stand up and take action.
The mission of the Gallatin Valley Sentinel is to renew a focus on transparency, integrity, and free speech by being the foremost trusted resource and platform for the silent and marginalized majority in our community. Our aim is to inform on issues and events taking place in the valley, advise on how we can achieve the change the majority desires, initiate discussions that need to be had, restore the framework of what the size and scope of our local government ought to be, and to protect the land, people, and values.
There are many ways people can get involved in helping restore the Gallatin Valley and renew the focus on the needs of its residents. Please visit our Get Involved page to find out more about the various ways you can join.
What Some of Us are Saying
“When we moved to Montana over 50 years ago, we loved the lifestyle and thought it was a wonderful place to raise our children. When I settled in Bozeman twelve years ago, it was a growing community, but it didn’t need to change to maintain that lifestyle. I got involved when I saw that radical changes are being forced on the people here by outside interests without their knowledge or consent.” - Lucy
“I joined because the changes happening in this county are alarming. Illegal immigrants are being welcomed and provided with handouts our community cannot afford. Urban camping is out of control. Crime is rising to levels never seen in this valley, and our safety is at risk.” - Cheryl
“I enlisted because a law that is not enforced is the same as no law at all. Bozeman City Commission’s Ordinance 2147 is not enforced and therefore (is) illusory.” - Doug
“We live in an era where politicians and the people that elect them are more concerned about social justice and receiving their fair share of what someone else has worked for rather than earning it for themselves. It is my duty to challenge this corruption by supporting The Sentinel.” - Spencer
“I joined because it is empowering the silent majority to find its voice.” - Bryan
“I joined because I am tired of the influx of people taking away from the way of life we have always known. We should not be expected to change to accommodate newcomers; they should assimilate to the community they have chosen to come to. Urban campers must be accountable to their own costs just as homeowners and renters. Crime must be addressed through enforcement of federal law for those here illegally.” - Kevin
“I moved to Bozeman to escape the same issues that we are now seeing here in Bozeman. I want to help prevent this from happening here.” - Nick
“To call out the illegal discrimination from DEI operatives in this town who are trying to undo all the work of past civil rights leaders who saw the value in equality, not equity. The sole purpose is to create division and show favoritism.” - Kim
“We have lived in two very blue, very diverse cities prior. The issues we experienced forced my family to move. The Bozeman city commission is importing those same issues here. As Christians, we believe we are called to help prevent the destruction of our city and state.” - Stephanie
“I’d like to be the change I want to see. I want my children to grow up in an amazing community like I did.” - Karyn
“I decided to get involved because as a 30+ year Bozeman resident I found myself not recognizing my town anymore. I realized I have not been paying close enough attention to local politics and feel like now is the time to fight back against the forces that no longer represent the values that made this place so attractive in the first place.” - Mel
