Montana Republican Party

Montana Republican lawmakers have elected new legislative leaders for the House of Representatives and state Senate ahead of the 2023 session.

If current vote tallies hold, Montana legislative Republicans are claiming supermajority status after the midterm election. According to unofficial results, they’ll pick up at least three seats in the state Senate and further solidify their stronghold in the House of Representatives ahead of the 2023 legislative session.

Montana Republicans are two seats away from holding supermajorities in both chambers of the state Legislature. That could have big implications for the 2023 legislative session.

Montana Democrats running for the state Legislature are already facing an uphill battle. Republicans hold a solid majority in both the House and Senate. And in two dozen districts this cycle, Republican candidates will go unchallenged.
