Sine die! That’s a wrap on the 69th #mtleg.
More to share in the days ahead, but for now, what I’m most proud of is showing up—every day, every hearing, every floor session, every vote. I worked as hard as I could for my constituents, and for Montana.
Thank you!

Today, I shared the devastating impacts of AZ’s universal #voucher system w/ hundreds of Montana superintendents, principals & SPED directors. These Montanans were mad & fired up to save their treasured public schools from the out-of-state #voucher push 💪 🍎 🔥 @arizona_sos
As a 30-year educator in MT, I remember when Rob had the education beat in Missoula. I always appreciated his thoroughness in questioning and his clarity in getting the story right. Thank you Rob for your dedication to the profession.
My friend and top notch educator, @LaurieBarron, was on a @GMA panel discussing the Greenlights Grant Initiative (@jklivinFNDN), but who was that guy sitting next to her? It was Matthew McConaughey!
It's been an awesome week for superintendents.
First yesterday we had @RupakGandhi and @HeidiWhiteSipe on the Hill to brief policymakers about ARP funding. Then today on @GMA we had @LaurieBarron and @AdamEasterwood to talk about the importance of fed school safety grants!

Looking for better return on investment? Lets invest in schools and 3rd graders! TX used to plan for the number of prison beds needed based on the % of 3rd graders not able to read. Lets get all MT 3rd graders reading! Lets not be TX. #montanalovespublicschools
