About Caleb

Caleb Hinkle is a Constitutional Conservative and a proud veteran of the Montana Army National Guard. He is dedicated to protecting life — He has passed legislation protecting children while bringing accountability in the judicial system — passed legislation defending medical freedom — and he was one of just a handful of legislators that stepped forward with creative solutions to try and address Montana's high property taxes in the last 2023/2025 legislative sessions.

Caleb has successfully passed legislation to address the illegal immigration crisis. In addition he removed all Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) from Montana State Code. On top of supporting property tax cuts, Caleb has also carried legislation for property tax relief.
