About Darren Fix

I'm Darren Fix

Navy veteran, technology leader, and longtime community volunteer. I’m running as a Democrat for Montana House District 6 because our community deserves practical, common-sense leadership focused on strong schools, responsible growth, affordable housing, and real help for working families and seniors.

Montana roots

My family and I are deeply rooted in the Flathead Valley. Neighbors know me from youth robotics and Python classes, and local fundraisers. We live, work, worship, and volunteer here—because community isn’t a slogan, it’s a habit.

Service first

I served in the United States Navy during Desert Shield/Desert Storm and Operation Provide Comfort, including transits through the Suez and Panama Canals. The military taught me discipline, teamwork, attention to detail, and mission focus—values I’ll bring to Helena.

Problem-solver by trade

Professionally, I’m a seasoned software engineering leader. I’ve led teams that build reliable systems—from machine-learning tools that help people make better decisions to data pipelines that keep critical services running. In plain English: I listen, diagnose the issue, and fix what’s broken.

Community matters

Beyond work, I’ve spent years mentoring youth, supporting local nonprofits, and pitching in where needed. I’m especially proud of helping seniors through volunteer programs and empowering kids with hands-on tech education. Strong communities are built by the people who show up.

Why I’m running

Politics shouldn’t be about drama or headlines—it should be about results. I’m running to bring a steady hand, open ears, and practical solutions to the everyday issues facing families and seniors in HD-6.

Priorities

  • Strong Schools: Support teachers, keep classrooms safe, and help every kid thrive.

  • Responsible Growth: Plan infrastructure and protect what makes Montana special.

  • Affordable Housing: Incentivize workforce housing and protect seniors on fixed incomes.

  • Working Families & Seniors: Cut red tape for childcare and expand access to local services.

  • Protecting Democracy & Local Voices: Defend fair, secure elections and keep decisions close to our community.

Call to action

Campaigns are won by conversations—on porches, at ball games, and over coffee. If you’re ready for practical, people-powered leadership in HD-6, I’d be honored to earn your support. Chip in if you can, sign up to volunteer, and let’s get to work together.
