That’s a wrap on the 2025 legislative session! I believe we delivered legislation that prioritizes Montanans and their way of life.
We passed legislation that aims to lower property and income taxes for hardworking residents, protect access to healthcare while keeping our rural hospitals open, and invest in students and schools. Additionally, we established a balanced, conservative budget that funds essential services, reduces taxes, and saves for the future.
I am particularly proud of the accomplishments of the education committee. We successfully passed the STARS Act, which will invest in higher starting salaries for teachers and reward schools for dual-credit and advanced placement opportunities and increase maintenance funding.
