Rep. Derek Skees is a Montana Republican politician who is a member of the Montana House of Representatives.
In 2013, he ran for Montana Commissioner of Securities and Insurance, but lost. In 2014, he ran for Montana's 5th Public Service Commissioner seat, but only secured 34% of the vote in the primary and lost. In 2016, he ran and was elected to the Montana House of Representatives. In 2021, he was master of ceremonies for the Red Pill Festival held in St. Regis, which sought to promote anti-government conspiracy theories and Christian conservatism. In 2021, he was unhappy with a preliminary injunction that blocked three anti-abortion bills, and said, "we need to throw out Montana's socialist rag of a constitution."
Recently, he tried to include additional items to a Special Session that would be to re-draw districts for the Public Service Commission. Items he outlined would include increased restrictions on allowed forms of voter identification, eliminate same-day voter registration in the state, and limiting when elections can be held only by mail-in ballots. He declined to outline any additional policy proposals.
Skees is one of those Kalispell area Republicans who won't be happy until they have destroyed the "Last Best Place" and converted it into a piece of you-know-what. Our democracy isn't what they want, our constitution isn't what they will follow, and our rule of law isn't what they will recognize.
Derek Skees is not a Montanan. He was born in Orlando, Florida and graduated from the University of Central Florida. He is, by occupation, a Construction consultant.
What he isn't is TRUSTWORTHY!
