Capitol Talk: Guns, Voting And An Executive Power-up
Gov. Greg Gianforte wants to increase the power of Montana s executive branch. Meanwhile, U.S. Congressman Matt Rosendale loses a battle with the national Republican leadership. And state Legislature moves toward making it harder to vote and easier to carry concealed guns.
Listen now on
Capitol Talk with Sally Mauk, Holly Michels and Rob Saldin.
Sally Mauk Holly, there are some bills in the hopper that would expand the power of the executive branch, and specifically, that would give Gov. Gianforte the power to appoint judges without going through the judicial nominating commission.

For much of our history, Montana has been one of the most unionized states in America. That was certainly the case at the time of the 1950 census, when unionized mines and saw mills were operating, and a single paycheck could comfortably support a family. Montanaâs per capita income, then, was 10th in the nation.
The leader of the union movement at that time was the legendary George Meany. When I was young, my family got most of our news from the radio. I remember hearing this raspy voice speaking in a heavy Brooklyn brogue about âthe woikuz.â I had no idea what a woikuz was. From that experience my mother explained to me about accents. Meany was saying the word âworkersâ in his accent.
MONTANA - Monday will mark the first time since 2005 that Montana has had a Republican governor. The last Republican to hold the position was Judy Martz.
Current Governor, Steve Bullock, has been in office since 2013. His term will expire on Jan. 4 as he maxed out the number of years Montana allows somebody to be governor.Â
Montanans elected Greg Gianforte as their stateâs 25th governor on Nov. 3, 2020.
According to state data, Gianforte received more votes than any candidate for governor in Montana history. He also won with the largest margin for a first-term governor since 1920.
However, Gianforte is not the only state official being sworn in on Monday. Others being sworn in include: New Attorney General Republican Austin Knudsen; Republican Christi Jacobsen for Secretary of State and Republican Troy Downing for State Auditor.
