Mahan campaigned on reducing the size of government and promoting the free market. He proposed using state energy production taxes to fund a statewide college tuition aid program and infrastructure improvements in eastern Montana, scaling back regulations on energy production, and transferring federally owned land to state control. Mahan opposed Medicaid expansion, disclaimed a belief in climate change, and called many people in eastern Montana and those who used Medicaid “welfare- dependent”. Williams campaigned primarily on healthcare. She said her legislative focus would be on healthcare issues “that really need to be fixed”, such as lowering prescription drug costs.
