HELENA, Mont. – The Montana Republican Party (MTGOP) will bring on Andrew Pierce to serve as its new executive director starting next month.
Pierce, a Hillsdale College graduate with extensive political experience, will manage MTGOP’s operations as it enters the 2026 election cycle and prepares for the 2027 state legislative session.
“We’re thrilled to have Andrew directing our party at this critical time. Republicans have the support of more Montanans than ever, and we will harness that momentum to keep the victories coming,” MTGOP Chairman Art Wittich said.
Pierce will begin serving in the role on September 8, 2025.
“I’m deeply honored to have been chosen by Chairman Wittich and the Executive Board to serve the Republican Party of the best state in the Union. I look forward to working with Republican officials and members to build on MTGOP’s success,” Pierce said.
Under the leadership of Chairman Wittich and Executive Director Pierce, MTGOP aims to deliver the conservative agenda mandated by voters and make Montana an even brighter red state.
“At their best, political parties serve both as local civic associations that amplify their communities’ concerns and as a statewide, unifying force that ensures voters get the policies they voted for. Parties act as the civic glue connecting citizens to their elected officials, empowering ordinary people to participate in self-government without needing to hold office, ” Pierce said.
“Parties also reinforce a vital safeguard: accountability. If elected officials disregard the principles or platform mandated by voters, both the party and voters have means to hold them accountable,” Pierce added.
MTGOP encourages all Montanans who seek responsible, conservative leadership in our state and local governments to reach out and get involved.
