Laura Smith

This Session, MT Dems killed bills that: ❌ try to silence Unions ❌ try to make Judge elections partisan when most Montanans don’t want it ❌ attack democracy/judiciary ❌ inject religion into public schools MT Dems prevailed at defending our democracy. #mtpol #UnionStrong

✍️ My bill to criminalized sexually explicit deepfakes is now law. As a former prosecutor, I’ve see the lifelong effects of abuse. Kids deserve to be safe from abuse of this tech & adults have a right to privacy under our MT Constitution. The bill is already at work! #mtpol

🌹A few Vday sweets for you. 🌹 This week, we: 🚌 Defeated a bill placing the 10 Commandments in all public school classes. ⚖️ Kept the separation of powers by defeating bills that attack the Judiciary. 🩺 Stopped 2 bills stripping health care from 80,000 Montanans. #mtpol

🐆 A wild first 1/3 of the MT Legislature. We’ve already done a lot of good — killing bills that strip healthcare from 80,000, attack MT judges, & redefined separation of powers. 🤯 We’re fighting for lower prop taxes, affordability, public schools, and (frankly) democracy. ⚖️

📚 Bill News! ✏️ I just introduced a bill to ensure funding for public schools meets their actual needs & isn’t artificially capped in a way that hurts our students & teachers. Instead of 10 Commandments in classes (SB 114!), Dems are solving real policy issues. #mtpol

For anyone wondering where I’ve been, I’ve been defending democracy here in MT. ❤️ Bills attacking the judiciary & our MT Constitution have been fast & furious. We’ve already put a few to bed. Don’t blame the ref. Just stop running unconstitutional bills. #mtpol

In my opinion piece for the @billingsgazette , I argue that we can’t let politics destroy Montana’s fair and impartial courts. #mtpol #mtleg #mtnews billingsgazette.com/opinion/column…

🇺🇸 Hey! 🇺🇸 Do you want politicians watching your private legal matters or recording your private family issues? Or do you want them solving the property tax debacle? Because Democrats are focused on what you actually want us to do vs. invading your privacy. #mtpol

🇺🇸 On a tough day, I feel lucky to get to represent the good people in MT Senate District 40. From Rimimi to Jefferson County and Unionville to the scratchgravels, our community is made up of good people who want the best for their families. See you at the Capitol. #mtpol

Join me. It’s not too late! mobilize.us/bigskyvictory/…

NEVER give up. I’m calling voters whose ballots got rejected. Many were surprised and were quick to fill out the form to fix it. Citizens WANT to participate in democracy. Let’s be sure they can. #mtpol

🐻⛰️ Fun Fact! I used to be the prosecutor in Glacier National Park. Crazy things happened there, but this is the weirdest. Sheehy, in his own words, shot his arm. Embarrassing, yes. Lying about it over and over? Gross. Montanans can spot a liar a mile away. #mtpol #montana

📝 Here’s an opinion I’ll never change. I believe the true test of a person’s character is how they treat young people in our community. @jontester, right before he spoke, made time for a kid desperate to meet him. He did that 3 more times. Here’s to the good ones. #mtpol

🔥Hot Take 🔥 Lots of people are asking me on the doors what I think of Tim Sheehy. My reply is the same every time: I 👏 Don’t 👏 Trust 👏 him. The latest lie is the worst. The truth? I don’t trust him w/ decisions abt my family. End stop. #mtpol

❤️ Happy Election Eve. ❤️ Even my daughter is preparing with this on point drawing! We are lucky to live in a country where people can exercise their right to vote free of violence and intimidation. See you on the other side of this historical election. #mtpol #votemama

@Shan73198 @SenatorTester @ryandbusse @MelissaRomanoMT Thank you very much for your work with our kids & getting out to knock!

Hey! 🍁🇺🇸 Talking to voters on doors… Would you rather be stranded on an island with Tim Sheehy or Jon Tester? Asking for a friend … @jontester Me after their answer…and mine too! #mtpol

My condolences to anyone who thought they could sneak one past @ryandbusse or @raphgraybill! #LFG #mtpol

❤️ Personal Message ❤️ My life-threatening pregnancy complications & my daughters 💕motivate me every day to fight for Montana women and girls. Nothing like the risk of dying to remind me I don’t want politicians in my operating room…or yours! #mtpol #votemama #VoteBlue
