West-central Missoula, including Target Range and Orchard Homes. Michael HagEstad is a fourth-generation Missoulian, an attorney, an economist, and a father of two young sons. He chairs the Missoula County Republican Central Committee. A Missoula native, he earned a B.A. in economics from Hillsdale College and a J.D. from the University of Montana’s Alexander Blewett III School of Law. HagEstad is running because Missoula is getting harder to recognize — and harder to afford. In Helena he will fight to lower property taxes, cut red tape so housing and small businesses can grow, and stand with law enforcement to keep neighborhoods safe.
