Hello from Helena! It is incredible to be a lawmaker in Helena this session-and I use the term “incredible” in both its positive and negative connotations. On the positive side, the House of Representatives moved five important bills to the Senate in Republican-led votes.

There are important biological and physiological differences between men and women, and I stood up and spoke on the floor in support of prese...

One area he talked about c...
