Tim Fox Races to Break Montana Law and Force More Government into Montanans’ Health Care Decisions
Helena, Mont. – Montana Democratic Party Executive Director Monica Lindeen issued the following statement after Tim Fox, Montana’s current attorney general and a Republican candidate for governor, signed onto a lawsuit that aims to put more government restrictions on private health care decisions.
The North Carolina lawsuit runs counter to the Montana Constitution, which protects the right of individual privacy.
“By joining this lawsuit, Tim Fox is showing his disregard for the Montana Constitution and joining the rank and file of Republican candidates who are clamoring over one another making promises to force more government interference into Montanans’ personal lives,” Lindeen said. “Montanans deserve a governor who respects our independence and right to privacy, not someone who tries to litigate personal health care decisions made in the exam room in consultation with doctors and family members.”
