A Brighter Future for Billings.

Jennifer Owen Ready to Lead

Jennifer Owen is Ready to Lead.

The people of Billings love this city—and we should. We are Montana’s largest community, the economic engine of the state, and a place where families, businesses, and ideas can thrive. But for too long, we’ve been told to settle. To look elsewhere for inspiration. To wait our turn.

That ends now.

Billings is poised for a new era—one defined by pride, purpose, and progress. But to move forward, we need bold leadership. Someone who believes in this city and isn’t afraid to stand up, speak clearly, and get to work.

Jennifer Owen is that leader.

A fifth-generation Billings resident,
Jennifer brings real-world experience
and deep local roots to every
decision.

As a City Council member, Jennifer has tackled public safety, fiscal responsibility, and system reform head-on. She has worked with local leaders to launch Montana’s first Family Justice Center to combat domestic violence, participated in a countywide task force on jail expansion, and ensured that critical budget resources were prioritized for safety first.  She has sponsored multiple initiatives to improve Council oversight of tax dollars and worked to invest wisely in core infrastructure throughout the city.  Jennifer understands that building a stronger Billings starts with transparency, collaboration, and results—not rhetoric.

Like many residents, Jennifer is deeply concerned about rising crime, high property taxes, and housing affordability. But she also sees a city on the edge of extraordinary opportunity.

Consider what’s already underway:

  • Intermountain Health Hospital – a $900 million investment in Billings’ future as a regional medical hub
  • Rocky Vista Veterinary Medicine Campus
  • National Guard Training Center
  • West End Water Treatment
  • Downtown Marriott Hotel
  • Yellowstone Ice Arena

This is not a city waiting to become something. This is a city rising.

Now is the time to stop looking elsewhere for who we should be—and start owning who we are.

“Billings deserves
more than
‘good enough.’
We deserve
great.”
