Gov. Gianforte Signs Pledge to Protect Montanans from Fraud

Governor's Office

HELENA, Mont. - Governor Greg Gianforte today joined 21 other governors to sign onto Vice President JD Vance's Pledge to Protect Americans from Fraud.

"For too long, waste, fraud, and abuse have bogged down systems and benefits meant to support the most at need in our communities," Gov. Gianforte said. "I am proud to join fellow governors in signing onto Vice President JD Vance's pledge to ensure Montanans are put first and those who are taking advantage of taxpayer funds are held accountable."

Vice President Vance serves as the Chair for President Trump's Task Force to Eliminate Fraud to find ways to eliminate waste, fraud, and abuse in the federal government to ensure taxpayer-funded programs benefit those who qualify.

The pledge calls to protect vulnerable Americans from fraudsters, ensuring taxpayer-funded programs serve law-abiding Americans, public agencies and officials work to stop fraud before payments are issued, fraudsters are held accountable for their crimes, and illegal alien fraudsters are promptly prosecuted.

In addition to Gov. Gianforte, signatories to the pledge include: Governor Kay Ivey (AL), Governor Mike Dunleavy (AK), Governor Sarah Sanders (AR), Governor Brad Little (ID), Governor Mike Braun (IN), Governor Kim Reynolds (IA), Governor Jeff Landry (LA), Governor Tate Reeves (MS), Governor Mike Kehoe (MO), Governor Jim Pillen (NE), Governor Joe Lombardo (NV), Governor Kelly Armstrong (ND), Governor Mike DeWine (OH), Governor Kevin Stitt (OK), Governor Henry Dargan McMaster (SC), Governor Larry Rhoden (SD), Governor Bill Lee (TN), Governor Greg Abbott (TX), Governor Spencer Cox (UT), Patrick Morrisey (WV), Governor Mark Gordon (WY).
