Democrats host listening tour

Senate Democratic Whip Susan Webber (D-Browning), Vice Chair of the House Appropriations Committee Mary Caferro (D-Helena) and Sen. Shane A. Morigeau (D-Missoula) will hold a public Legislative Listening session at the Mission Valley Senior Center in Ronan at 6 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 25.

The stop is part of Democrats’ Legislative Listening Tour, launched in Great Falls last summer and part of an effort to hear from Montanans about the direction the state is moving. So far representatives have traveled 11,086 miles across many of Montana’s landscapes, with additional stops in Belgrade, Fort Peck, Laurel, Red Lodge, Lewistown and Havre.

This winter, the tour heads to the western side of the state with a focus on rural areas. These face-to-face sessions give legislators the chance to hear the public’s ideas and concerns.

The Mission Valley Senior Center is located at 528 Main Street W. in Ronan.
