Greg Gianforte (Republican Party) is the Governor of Montana. He assumed office on January 4, 2021. His current term ends on January 1, 2029.

Gianforte (Republican Party) ran for re-election for Governor of Montana. He won in the general election on November 5, 2024.

Gianforte was born in San Diego, California, in 1961, and spent his childhood in Pennsylvania. Gianforte graduated from the Stevens Institute of Technology in 1983 with a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering and a master's in computer science. In 1995, Gianforte moved to Montana and founded RightNow Technologies. He ran the company until 2012, when he sold it to Oracle for $1.8 billion.

Gianforte entered politics in 2016, when he ran for governor against incumbent Steve Bullock (D). Bullock defeated Gianforte 50-46%. In 2017, Gianforte ran in and won a special election for U.S. House to fill the vacancy left by U.S. Rep. Ryan Zinke (R), who served as secretary of the interior during most of President Donald Trump's (R) first term. Gianforte won re-election in 2018, defeating Kathleen Williams (D) 51-46%. While in Congress, Gianforte said he was focused on reducing healthcare costs, expanding access to rural broadband, reducing regulations, and lowering taxes.

With Bullock term-limited, Gianforte ran for governor again in 2020. Gianforte centered his campaign on expanding economic growth, describing his plan as a "top-to-bottom regulatory review, to keep regulations that protect public safety and the environment, but remove the excessive ones. And, lowering the tax burden across the board.” Trump endorsed Gianforte's bid for governor. Gianforte defeated Mike Cooney (D), becoming the first Republican to win the governor's office since Judy Martz (R) in 2001 and giving the GOP trifecta control of the government.

According to the Montana Free Press' Mara Silvers, Gianforte "consistently pledged to be a fiscally and socially conservative leader of state government. During the past two legislative sessions, Gianforte has touted the passage of an array of Republican-backed laws, including abortion restrictions, business-friendly tax cuts and support for parents seeking private education options."

Gianforte defeated Ryan Busse (D) 60-38% in his 2024 re-election bid.

Biography

Gianforte was born in San Diego, California, on April 17, 1961. He received a B.S. and M.S. from the Stevens Institute of Technology in 1983. Before entering politics, he worked as an engineer and business owner. He founded RightNow Technologies with his wife, Susan, in Bozeman, Montana.

He also worked on job development in Montana through the Better Montana Jobs project and a scholarship program for low-income students and veterans to receive training and work in the state. Gianforte was elected to the U.S. House in 2017 and as governor of Montana in 2020.

Gianforte’s campaign website stated the following:

“	More Opportunity and Good-Paying Montana Jobs Montana is The Treasure State, but we aren’t creating better opportunities to allow folks to prosper. It’s time for that to change. Greg built a business in Montana, creating more than 500 high-wage Montana jobs. As Governor, Greg will bring that same business sense to Helena and every corner of our state. Greg will work with all Montanans to use his experience to build a better Montana that brings the American dream into greater reach for all. Creating jobs and greater opportunity for Montanans is his top priority. Standing With Trump In Congress, Greg has worked with President Trump to cut taxes, strengthen our economy, secure our borders and roll back unnecessary, burdensome regulations. As Governor, Greg will continue to work with President Trump to put America, and Montana, first. Education As Governor, Greg will work with our education leaders on Montana solutions to better prepare our kids for the future so they can thrive. Greg believes our education dollars should go to our classrooms, students and teachers, not eaten up by bureaucracy. Securing Our Borders In Congress, Greg worked with President Trump to secure our borders. As Governor, Greg will continue to do the same. Securing our borders must be a priority. No Tax Increases As Governor, Greg will say no to tax increases – including no sales tax. More money in the pockets of Montana families and small businesses is better for our state than sending more and more of your hard-earned dollars to feed an ever-expanding government bureaucracy. Defending Our Second Amendment Rights The Second Amendment isn’t just about hunting – it’s about our Montana way of life and the freedoms guaranteed to us in our Constitution. As a lifelong sportsman and life member of the NRA, Greg will always protect and defend our Second Amendment rights. Protecting Public Access to Our Public Lands Montana’s public lands are second to none. As avid outdoorsmen, Greg and Susan raised their four kids in Montana hiking, fishing and hunting on Montana’s public lands. Greg knows we have to keep our special places special for future generations. As your Congressman, Greg introduced legislation to protect our public lands, and President Trump signed it into law. As your Governor, Greg will ensure our public lands are accessible and stay in public hands. Keeping Our Communities Safe As Governor, Greg will work to keep our communities safe. Greg will put forward Montana solutions to combat the epidemic of illegal drugs and work to get addicts healthy again, promoting treatment and recovery. Greg will lead with conviction and compassion to help those in need so we can move people away from dependency and back to the dignity of self-sufficiency.	”

2018

Campaign website

Gianforte’s campaign website stated the following:

“	Putting Montana First Overregulation is strangling our economy and making it difficult for Montanans to thrive. Our coal and timber jobs have been hit particularly hard. I’ll work to rein in the job-killing regulations and end senseless Washington, D.C. policies that are harming Montana job creators. I’ll stop the terrible trade deals that have hurt our economy and send jobs to places like China. I’ll always stand up for American and Montana jobs. Montana Jobs I’ve spent my life in business creating high-paying Montana jobs. I started a company here twenty years ago that grew to employ over five hundred Montanans where the average pay was almost $90K per year. This success was the result of the Montana work ethic and strong leadership. Let’s get Washington out of the way so our economy can prosper, high-paying jobs can be created, and our Montana way of life can be protected. I’ll work to rein in the out-of-touch Washington, D.C. regulations that are holding back small businesses and killing jobs. I’ll fight to protect our coal and timber jobs. And I’ll work toward commonsense solutions that encourage job creation and help Montanans get back to work in the state that we all love so Montanans don’t have to leave our great state. Standing Up for Veterans Montana is home to thousands of brave men and women who have selflessly served our nation in the Armed Forces. Our veterans gave so much to defend our country, but too often, Washington, D.C. has failed them. As your Representative, I’ll protect the promises our country has made to our veterans. I’ll work to bring accountability to the VA and ensure that our veterans receive the benefits they have earned and deserve. Defending Our 2nd Amendment Rights The Second Amendment isn’t about hunting – it’s about our Montana way of life and our freedoms guaranteed to us in our Constitution. As a lifelong sportsman and life member of the NRA, I will always protect our Second Amendment rights. There is nothing confusing about “shall not be infringed.” You can count on me to stand up to the liberal special interests and defend Montanans’ Constitutional right to keep and bear arms. Protecting Access to Public Lands Montana’s public lands are second to none. As an avid outdoorsman, Susan and I have raised our four kids in Montana hiking, fishing, hunting, climbing, rafting and skiing on Montana’s public lands. That’s why as your Representative, you can count on me to fight back against the liberal elites’ War on the West. I’ll defend our right to hunt, fish and recreate on public lands. I won’t let Washington bureaucrats lock us out. I’ll always protect our public lands because they should stay in public hands. Healthcare That Works for Montanans Big government mandates, costly regulations and double-digit hikes in healthcare costs– it’s clear that Obamacare isn’t working for Montanans. I’ll work to repeal Obamacare and replace it with real solutions that improve healthcare quality, reduce costs, and increase access for Montanans. It’s time for Montanans – not government bureaucrats – to be at the center of the healthcare equation. Protecting Montana Seniors I know how important Social Security and Medicare are to Montana seniors. That’s why I’ll fight hard to protect and secure these programs. I’ll stop the Washington politicians from cutting the retirement benefits Montana seniors earned. I will always fight hard for Montana seniors and protect Social Security and Medicare. Keeping America Safe The threats facing our country are too great to be ignored. That’s why I’ll fight every day for policies that defend our nation from those who wish to do us harm. We need to protect our border and deport criminals. We need to strengthen our military and destroy ISIS. As your Representative, I’ll always fight to keep our country safe. Drain the Swamp Washington, D.C. now has the highest median income in America. Washington insiders have rigged the system to cash-in at your expense. That’s why I want to help drain the swamp. I’ll lead the charge to bring accountability to Washington. I’ll support term limits and a ban to end members of Congress from becoming lobbyists. It’s time America and Montana come first. Stop the Reckless Spending and Balance the Budget For too long, Washington politicians’ reckless spending has been left unchecked. Our country is nearly $20 trillion in debt, and our kids and grandkids are left holding the bill. It’s time for Congress to pass a balanced budget, and stick to it – just like we do in Montana. I’ll hold the politicians accountable. If they can’t balance the budget, they shouldn’t get paid. No balanced budget, no paycheck.	”

Incident between Gianforte and Guardian reporter

See also: Montana's At-Large Congressional District special election, 2017

On May 24, 2017, Ben Jacobs, a reporter from The Guardian, alleged that Gianforte slammed him to the floor and broke his glasses during an interview at the candidate's campaign headquarters. Gianforte's campaign initially said Jacobs had been aggressive and grabbed Gianforte's wrist.

The Gallatin County sheriff charged Gianforte with misdemeanor assault. After Gianforte won the election on May 25, 2017, he offered an apology to Jacobs during his victory speech. He said, "When you make a mistake, you have to own up to it. That’s the Montana way. Last night I made a mistake and I took an action that I can’t take back and I’m not proud of what happened. I should not have responded in the way that I did and for that I am sorry."

As part of an out-of-court settlement with Jacobs, Gianforte pledged to donate $50,000 to the Committee to Protect Journalists on June 7, 2017. He wrote in an apology letter to Jacobs, "I acknowledge that the media have an obligation to seek information.
