Montana has long been a child care desert. It impacts the vast majority of families with young children in the state who need to find AND afford care. I'm grateful to the single mom who shared her struggle with me for this story. #mtnews #mtleg disq.us/t/3x0engy

HB 339 Creates unnecessary barriers to accessing nutrition supports during a pandemic and leaves some to weigh food for their families versus safety.

HB 339 - a bill that would require SNAP participants to participate in child support - puts survivors of domestic violence at risk of losing their food benefits if they do not feel safe contacting their abuser. #mtleg #mtpol

Nearly all of us will need paid leave at some point in our lives. The FAMLI Act (HB228) addresses those needs. Check out this great brief from for more info: montanabudget.org/report/famli-a #mtleg #mtpol #PaidLeave

Representative Moffie Funk dropped the FAMILI Act today- House Bill 228. At some point nearly everyone needs paid leave, and it’s time for MT to join to join the growing number of states who have a paid leave plan for families.
