Working for you

It is a true honor to represent you in Helena. Although we have covered a wide variety of topics in the legislative session thus far, I would like to share a few issues we are currently working on:

• Building and protecting good jobs, especially in tourism and natural resources.

• Guarding the backbone of our democracy: voting rights and integrity.

• Making certain high quality public education is accessible for everyone.

• Increasing access to broadband and computers for rural communities, which is essential for healthcare, including mental health and education.

• Ensuring fair and affordable rates for energy.

As we begin to look toward the interim between sessions, I have requested the following study bills over the next two years:

• Traffic safety to reduce highway fatalities in Montana.

• Workforce and childcare to ensure that families can go back to work if they want to.

• Fair treatment of incarcerated, making sure no one is treated poorly.

It has been a busy session with long hours spent reading and writing bills, listening to constituents in hearings and responding to emails, discussing bills in committee and on the floor. We understand that every vote has the possibility of becoming law, a law that could affect thousands of people. I do not take this lightly and want to continue the communication.

Please do not hesitate to reach out, contact information is above. In the mean time, enjoy this spring weather!
