Rep. Matt Rosendale stopped by the legislative session in Helena on Wednesday to congratulate two young men, who despite their challenges, are serving their state.
The Senate auctioned off a couple of U.S. flags that had flown over the state Capitol. The auction was held by the Montana Auctioneers Association and was similar to one the Senate did for him a couple years ago that raised $3,100.
If only for a brief moment, Jack was back.
And the Senate was glad to see him.
Jackson âJackâ Racicot, a former Senate committee worker, returned to the Senate floor Monday to thank lawmakers for their support and to participate in an auction to raise funds to buy equipment for his rehabilitation.
He was left a quadriplegic after a Feb. 16, 2019, snowboarding accident at Great Divide, when he smashed his C5 vertebrae and was paralyzed from the neck down. It occurred a few weeks after the 2019 session started, but Racicot had left his mark at the Capitol.
