Former State House Representative | Montana Made

[CBS Mornings @CBSMornings]

Nine Republican Montana state senators voted with 18 Democrats to form a new majority to pass major legislation last session, undermining the influence of the ultra-conservative caucus of the state’s GOP.

Dubbed “The Nasty Nine,” the Republican senators were censured by their own party, stripped of their GOP status and cut off from voting rights at their party’s conventions in June.

Some of those senators — and two of the Democrats they voted with — spoke with @jolingkent about what they accomplished: “We voted for lower income tax relief. We invested in infrastructure. We invested in the future of Montana.”

This is a 9-0 Supreme Court decision from just last year.

The so-called “One Big Beautiful Bill” nixed several Montana infrastructure projects. Among them? $63 million in safety upgrades for the notoriously deadly Highway 93. Another four lives were lost this week, and not a peep from our OBBB-supporting delegation. Unbelievable. #mtpol

Just one lifetime ago in the United States, our grandfathers could buy a home, buy a car, have 3 to 4 children, keep their wives at home, take annual vacations, and then retire… all on one middle-class salary. What happened?

Thank you, Montana. Serving as your senator was the honor of my lifetime. This is the greatest state in the greatest country in the world and I’ll always be proud to call Montana my home.

This is just forever a true statement for me

[Montana Free Press @mtfreepress]

In late March, David Gianforte made an appointment to talk about three bills with Montana’s Republican governor, Greg Gianforte, who happens to be his father. David told his father the bills will harm the LGBTQ+ community he’s a part of. #mtnews https://t.co/OTRaz2Pqpp

If this is leadership’s standard, I can name plenty of other legislators who should have been censored in the past for statements made on the House floor. Anybody who respects our democracy should be frightened by this decision.

[Rep. Zooey Zephyr @ZoAndBehold]

The Republican Party of Montana is refusing to allow me—a transgender Representative—to speak on any bill. This is fundamentally undemocratic.

My light is on, and I am ready to speak on behalf of the constituents who elected me to do so.

Across the country, parties are consolidating political power in states and squeezing out the moderate middle. In Montana, that squeeze is changing political representation and whose voice counts. https://t.co/Z98VXU5EmS

Nearly 1 million pounds of vinyl chloride were on this train. Now, the EPA has confirmed it's entered the Ohio River basin which is home to 25 million people.

This is one of the deadliest environmental emergencies in decades and no one is talking about it.

@ZoAndBehold Thank you for your kind words, friend. I hope the best for you this session and am sad I’m not there to fight by your side.
