Hill County HD 33 candidates

House District 33 which encompasses part of Havre and the North-western portion of Hill County is currently held by Bob Bergren who is prevented from running for re-election by term-limits. Republican Kris Hansen is running against Democrat Jack Trethewey. Neither Hansen nor Trethewey responded to our kind offer to post their campaign Bios on our blog.

Kris Hansen is currently employed as the Chief Deputy County Attorney for Hill County and Jack Trethewey manages the local Zip Trip convenience store in his off hours and has been a Havre firefighter since 1992.

Kris does have a website at http://www.hansenforhouse.com/ for further information and my Google searches failed to find anything for Jack.

I am inclined not to support Jack because of the anti-Christian sentiment of the ACLU suit his wife instigated but I am keeping an open mind and am undecided at this point.

You tell me readers – who should I support in this race?

  1. If everyone votes for Jack we will be rid of him as a city fireman. Have you even stopped to consider how much the city would benefit from that?

  4. I got Jack's flyer in the mail and the only thing he claims for qualifications is that he has kids and he is a fireman


    ? - He can screw and drink beer

    So what! I am voting for hanson

  5. He wants to follow in former firefighter Bergren's footsteps. Jack was reqruited to run by Bob Bergren which is my reason for voting for Hansen. And she is far better qualified to boot

    Jack lets his political anger get in the way of sound judgement. (IE Recall his reasoning and anger in the city council elections with partisan politics) Hansen thinks things out

    Hansen ways she will work towards a rational medical marijuana law. Jack just wants to license them so they get fire inspected

    Jack is a long time downtrodden union employee that will be prone to the same thinking his wife had when she joined the people offended by a prayer at the college. The legislature opens with a prayer and is no place for Jack who may be likewise offended

    Hansen is calmer, more rational, is smarter, has a more divirsified experience and in short is a better choice

    Stay with the girl in the picture with the guns, at least you know she is not a gun control nut

  7. If you are concerned at all about former drug dealers now operating as legitimate medical marijuana “businesses” you should vote for Kristen Hansen as she is onboard with legislating some guidelines for these operations. If you think there should be no oversight of this new industry than Jack Tretheway is the right choice

  8. I didn't vote for Jack's wife for City Council, I wouldn't vote for her as dog catcher, she is just power hungry and loves pushing people around and saying look at me - look at me. With that said, i am considering voting for Jack, I don't see him clinging to the same postions tha she does. think about it, he probably just wants a break

  11. Jack may be a great Union representative but I personally think he lacks the experience and knowledge for the broad range of things decided in the legislature. Hansen has a better background and most importantly from what I know about her she listens before she makes a decision. Let me emphasize BEFORE

  12. Jack gets my vote hands down. Hanson wants to screw with i-148 and im not happy about that. Over 60% voted for that for a reason! Cant wait till Cali legalizes so we can move forward and stop all these stupid people that are trying to ruin it for everyone else. We should stop the sales of aspirin long before the sales of marijuana since it kills 7000 people a year compared to 0 marijuana related deaths. HELLO!!!!!

  13. When democrats tell me in confidence they are voting for Hanson I know I'm on the right track. Trethaway's wife did no one any favors when she stood behind the 4 or 5 people that complained about the prayer at the collage.
