Letter to the editor

Having been elected to the Montana Senate, I wanted to give you a few updates. Even though there’s not a super majority this time, I’m encouraged to say we’ll have a conservative coalition this session and my hope is that we will stick together on the contentious bills we face. I anticipate another busy year with bills.

The committees aren’t finalized yet, but the possibilities for me at this time appear to be Business & Labor, State Administration, Fish, Wildlife & Parks, or Energy & Technology. We’ll see whether different possibilities present themselves as time goes by.

It’s my honor to serve the people of Eastern Montana and I’d like to say a sincere thank you to everyone that supported me. If you’d like to contact me, my email is…..bobphalen@midrivers.com, or call me at 406-939-1187.

Senator-elect Bob Phalen, SD 17
