As Director of Montana’s Department of Corrections and Sheriff of Gallatin County, Brian demonstrates a sincere commitment to public safety and the rule of law, and his leadership in our state leaves no doubt that he will continue to serve the people of Montana with excellence. I look forward to his confirmation by the U.S. Senate,” said Daines. “Brian Gootkin has served Montana proudly for years, and I’m glad to hear he’s been nominated by President Trump to continue to serve and keep our streets safe as Montana’s U.S. Marshal. Senate Republicans have overcome historic obstruction to get President Trump’s picks in place, and we are eager to add Brian to list of fantastic nominees that have been confirmed,” said Sheehy. Background: Brian M. Gootkin was appointed by Montana Governor Greg Gianforte to serve as the director of the Montana Department of Corrections in 2021. Gootkin came to the department from the Gallatin County Sheriff’s Office where he served as sheriff. Also throughout his 27-year tenure with that office, Gootkin held positions including patrol deputy, detective with the Missouri River Drug Task Force, jail administrator, and undersheriff. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T19:32:54Z |
