On Nov. 3, Republicans won election to every statewide office and increased their majorities in both houses in the Legislature. State Sen. JP Pomnichowski, a Bozeman Democrat who has served in the Legislature since 2007, will discuss the upcoming legislative agenda, which includes setting priorities, addressing COVID-19 protocols, dealing with recently approved ballot measures, working on a budget and more.
Pomnichowski served in the Montana House of Representatives from 2007 until 2013. In 2014, she was elected to the Montana Senate where she currently serves as Democratic Party Whip.
