  • 2021 Voting Record
    The 2021 Legislative Session Montana's biennial legislative session is always a top MFPE priority because decisions made there profoundly affect members' pocketbooks and professions. The 67th session was unique due to the global COVID-19 pandemic and a single political party controlling both the legislative and executive branches, but MFPE members were undaunted. Nearly 3,000 MFPE members and staff joined the first-ever Rapid Response Team of member-lobbyists. They attended statewide virtual meetings throughout the session and sent tens of thousands of messages to legislators via texts, emails, and phone calls. These efforts were crucial in asserting MFPE's strength and reach. Because MFPE members engaged like never before, we successfully beat back five union-busting bills all directed at undermining the ability of Montana workers to belong to and participate in a union. Our collective efforts also secured several legislative victories including the quick and bipartisan approval of the state and university employee pay plan and funding for public education and services, state agencies, the Montana University System, and Community Colleges. Through the Rapid Response Team, MFPE members successfully advocated for bills to stabilize the Sheriff and Highway Patrol pensions and fought to defeat an assortment of bills that would have destroyed the Teachers’ and Public Employees’ Retirement Systems. MFPE members and staff mobilized to defeat a parade of bad ideas: a private charter school bill; private school vouchers to divert money from public schools to private schools; voter suppression; and bad tax policies that defund public services while giving tax breaks to the ultrawealthy. Despite our best efforts, some bills with harmful consequences for MFPE members became law.

    January 9, 2021 2021 Montana Legislature Begins Monday, January 4th, marked the first day of the 67th Montana State Legislature and for the next 90 days our focus will be on state policy and the accompanying political debate. With a little over 3,000 bill requests, many of them considered ‘placeholders’ that may or may not become bill drafts, will command the attention of both legislators and concerned citizens. Monday also marked statewide offices being sworn in. Governor Gianforte spoke on his commitment to growing the states economy, lowering taxes, improving the state’s infrastructure and state spending. Austin Knudsen now serves as the Attorney General, Christi Jacobsen as Secretary of State, Troy Downing as Auditor and Elsie Arntzen is serving her second term as Superintendent of Public Instruction Legislators were sworn in via Zoom and in-person. COVID-19 protocols will look different based on the legislator’s preference and location of hearing. Montana Democrats priorities include protecting Medicaid expansion, support for families due to COVID impacts and funding infrastructure projects. Montana Republicans priorities include budget, gun rights, restrict access to abortion, public lands, private sector healthcare and broader local control for education. Both parties want to work on expanding broadband access and investing in career technical training. The 2021 session also has an eight member, legislative leadership COVID-19 response panel. They will meet on a regular basis as they navigate the session. Remote participation is highly encouraged. Public testimony is a valuable resource for legislators.
