About Us

House Democrats are dedicated to serving Montanans across the state.

Montana House Democrats are 42 strong, have our sleeves rolled up, and are eager to get to work.

Montana families deserve a Legislature that sets aside the partisan, political blustering. They deserve lawmakers that lead with solutions. And House Democrats are committed to finding solutions to the very real problems that families across our state face every day.

House Democrats are fighting to fix problems like our state’s failing infrastructure, prohibitively expensive health care, and a broken budget that has been balanced on the backs of working families for too long. And the caucus will never roll over when vital programs and services for Montana families are on the chopping block.

Montana Democrats see the 2019 legislative session for what it is: An opportunity to fulfill a constitutional obligation and lead with solutions that deliver results for the people of Montana.

A Message From the Democratic Leader

If there’s one thing Montanans can unite behind, it’s that we’re sick and tired of self-serving politicians who are all talk, no walk.

As the House Minority Leader for the 2019 legislative session, I couldn’t agree more. Montana families deserve a Legislature that sets aside the partisan, political blustering and they deserve lawmakers that lead with solutions. That’s why House Democrats have our sleeves rolled up and are eager to get to work. As citizen legislators, our number one job is to represent and provide a voice for the people who elected us: Our neighbors, small business owners, local workers and community members. And you didn’t elect us to run government like a reality TV show—you elected us to work hard and find solutions to the very real problems that families across our state face every day. Of course, there will be times when representing Montanans means pushing back hard against absurd legislation that is bad for our state. House Democrats won’t roll over when vital programs and services are on the chopping block. But we must work together to find real solutions, and we invite — in fact, we expect our colleagues on the other side of the aisle to join us in putting the people of Montana first. The 2019 legislative session cannot turn into a 4-month campaign commercial for 2020. We have real issues to solve right now. Solutions, rather than rhetoric, are vital to Montana's success. House Democrats see the 2019 legislative session for what it is: An opportunity to fulfill our constitutional obligation and lead with solutions that deliver results for the people of Montana.
