This was a difficult session in many ways. But I’m grateful for the 33 members of our caucus, who never stopped fighting for Montanans in every part of the state, and the many Montanans who made their voices heard throughout the session. #mtpol #mtleg #sinedie

Yep. Instead of working to get $900mil out the door for Montana families, Republicans decided today was a good day to police the 'skirt lengths and necklines' of their colleagues. Today’s hearing was beyond a waste of time — it was an attack on Montana's female legislators. https://t.co/7nq7mVAKpY
Today, the Gianforte administration got the green light to wrap struggling homeowners in red tape, instead of using ARPA Homeowner Assistance Funds to give folks real help. If decisions like this continue, we’ll squander our once in a lifetime opportunity to get MT back to work.

It clearly shows a pattern of public officials using their power to intimidate Montanans into doing what they want. That isn’t how it’s supposed to work here. #mtleg #mtpol
