There will be no SNAP money for MT children on November 1. @GovGianforte had the money, legal authority, and power to temporarily use state funds to keep kids fed. He could have stopped this oncoming crisis but did not. #mtleg #mtnews #mtpol @MTDems billingsgazette.com/news/state-r...
With SNAP cuts looming, Gianforte says MT won’t pay to maintain food assistance benefits
Around 77,000 Montanans will lose access to food assistance on Nov. 1 unless the federal government takes action or state dollars are used to foot the bill.

SNAP benefits expire on Nov. 1. This is a crisis for hungry MT children. I’m asking Governor Gianforte to use his power to cover food stamp funding until Feds reopen. #mtnews #mtpol #montana #snap #jamesreavis

I’m at the EPA public hearing to learn more about the Billings PCE Plume, hear from the residents, and understand how our state and federal agencies are working to address this important issue in downtown Billings. #mtpol #mtnews

My thoughts go out to Yellowstone County Commissioner John Ostlund and his family. He was an integral part of Yellowstone governance and politics. I was grateful for the chance to have a chat with him before starting my first session in the legislature. #mtnews

I was saddened and disappointed that @GovGianforte vetoed SB 394, bipartisan legislation that would have supported our police officers, firefighters, and EMT’s for the trauma they face on the job for a reasonable cost. #mtleg #mtnews #mtpol
