Keeping Elections Safe Keeps Montana Safe
Faith in our election process drives our Democracy and has driven much of my legislative career. Requiring photo identification to vote is just common sense, so I put it into law.
Gov. Greg Gianforte signed a voter ID bill I sponsored, SB 276, into law the first week of May. Secretary of State Christi Jacobsen also joined the Governor and me at the signing table. During her campaign for Montana’s top election position, Jacobsen ran on a platform of safe and transparent elections. She and her staff lived up to that promise by helping me develop language for the bill that can withstand legal scrutiny.
I have carried many election integrity bills, including five this session. For several years, I served on the Senate State Administration and Veteran Affairs Policy Committee and even chaired it in 2023. I continue to serve on the Senate interim SAVA Committee. I also chaired the Special Select Joint Committee on newly created Montana Legislative Districts in 2023, as well as the Butte/Silver Bow Primary Election Overcount Senate Select Committee in 2024.
