about rio
My name is Rio Wittmayer Roland. I was born and raised in the Turtle Mountains of north-central North Dakota. I have an undergraduate degree from Oregon State University in Bioresource Research and a Master’s of Urban and Regional Planning from the University of Minnesota.
I am an engineer in the renewable energy industry, designing utility-scale wind farms. Before that, I was an environmental planner focused on watershed planning, hydrologic restoration opportunities, and critical trout habitat preservation.
I am the chair of the Bozeman Transportation Board and served for 3 years on the Gallatin County Democrats Executive Committee. I’m deeply committed to meaningful change for Montanans.
Oh, I love to fly-fish and have a super cute dog, BeBe, who loves being on the water fly-fishing with me!
WHY I’M RUNNING
I'm running as a Democrat for the Montana Legislature in House District 61, which includes Montana State University. We live in the most beautiful state in the nation. Serene open spaces, public lands, and clear, bountiful rivers surround us, something we take for granted, and that is why I'm running.
Whether it is rising medical premiums, energy, and home prices, the education of our children, our guaranteed right to a clean and healthful environment, or our federal government ignoring our constitutional rights, I will fight for us, Montana, so the things that we take for granted remain so.
Over the course of this campaign, I hope you will tell me how I can best serve you. I love this town. I love this state. I love this country. And that's why I'm running for the Montana House.
