Rep for HD 95 (Missoula) - Organizer, parent, Montanan. Fighting for a future that works for all of us. Reach out at repsjhowell@ gmail

[Rep. SJ Howell @RepHowell4MT]

@Lgpguin I’m now running in HD100! It’s largely the same district with a new number. Rep. Zephyr is running in HD95, same deal re district and number. I’ll get that Twitter handle updated!

Every time renters were be included in tax rebates, the Republican majority amended them out.

Every bill that prevented Montanans from being exploited by corporate out-of-state landlords was sent to a kill committee by Republican leadership.

Breaking: Montana Supreme Court holds 5-2 that Montana's sexual offender registry is punitive in nature and thus the Legislature cannot change it to retroactively increase punishment on individuals already sentenced. Baker and Rice dissent. https://t.co/SkvMgTCDb3 #mtpol #mtnews

Celebrating a historic win for childcare access in MT. HB 648 (sponsored by Rep. Alice Buckley)
was signed by the governor. From HB 238 (the precursor bill) to now, so many worked tirelessly. I am proud to have been part of the team that made it happen!

What happened yesterday in Helena was clear discrimination against
@ZoAndBehold
I fully support her & the rest of the trans & queer community whom the super majority violently seeks to silence & eradicate. I won't let the hate of one group silence any of our voices #mtleg #mtpol

[@victoryinstitute on bluesky @VictoryInst]

Montana's LGBTQ+ state Reps. @Kim_AbbottMT, Donavon Hawk, @Howell4HD95 all voted in solidarity with @ZoAndBehold.

Still, the motion to censure her passes on a party line vote. This is a huge mistake.

[Rep. SJ Howell @RepHowell4MT]

This escalation by @MTHouseGOP is in direct violation of our democratic values. A party cannot disenfranchise a district of voters. I believe our government works best when everyone participates. Efforts to silence the minority will never succeed. #mtleg #mtpol

[Rep. Zooey Zephyr @ZoAndBehold]

I have been informed that during tomorrow’s floor session there will be a motion to either censure or expel me.

I've also been told I'll get a chance to speak. I will do as I have always done—rise on behalf of my constituents, in defense of my community, & for democracy itself.

👀👀 MT Republicans quietly reveal their main goal for the next legislative session—kicking tens of thousands of families off their health insurance, closing small hospitals and nursing homes across the state. #mtpol

[Montana House Democrats @MTHouseDems]

The GOP doubled down on their attack on the rights of nonbinary, transgender, & Two Spirit Montanans, with the passage of SB 458. @Howell4HD95 knows MT Dems will continue to defend Montanans from Republicans’ constant & unending attacks on their freedom, safety, privacy, & lives.

[Missoula Democrats @missouladems]

A great bill by @Howell4HD95. A smart way to reduce administrative costs for Medicaid and maintain continuity of care for those with chronic illnesses. #mtleg #mtpol

[Daily Montanan || @dailymontanan.bsky.social @daily_montanan]

“I think this might be the most important bill this committee is going to grapple with this session.” - Rep. Howell, who voted yes. Passed 17-4 with bipartisan support.

[Rep. SJ Howell @RepHowell4MT]

Many of my colleagues - on both sides of the aisle - are engaged and supportive of finding a solution. We always love to hear from you so keep those messages coming!

[Rep. SJ Howell @RepHowell4MT]

Yesterday, HB 238 - my bill to expand childcare for working families - was tabled. But we are not done! I’m excited to be working with Rep. Alice Buckley on a follow up bill, stay tuned for more info soon and keep fighting the good fight.

[Rep. SJ Howell @RepHowell4MT]

Today the Business and Labor committee tabled HB 386, my bill to create paid sick days for all working Montanans. Where’s the love for the workin’ man?! #mtleg #mtpol

[Rep. SJ Howell @RepHowell4MT]

Proud to present HB 238 last week - it’s long past time to invest in child care.

[Rep. SJ Howell @RepHowell4MT]

Proud to drop my first bill in the hopper today! HB 238 invests in MT’s Best Beginnings program to make affordable childcare a reality for working families. Here we go! #mtleg #mtpol

[Rep. SJ Howell @RepHowell4MT]

@kevhamm Thanks Kev! Appreciate you right back.

[Missoula Democrats @missouladems]

First, @KarlenforHD96 flipped HD96 (W Missoula to Huson) Democratic!!

Jonathan has degrees in wildlife biology & public administration, and wants collaborative approaches to problems -- especially housing, energy, mental health and supporting veterans.
