U.S. Senator Steve Daines today issued the following statement after the proposed maps for Montana's new U.S. House of Representatives seats were released.
"The maps proposed by the Democrat Commissioners are highly partisan and do not remotely reflect the fair "east/west' districts that for 70 years, always included Lincoln and Flathead Counties in the western district. Without a single proposal that even maintains this basic measure, the Democrats have created congressional districts that are egregious and reckless on their face in an attempt to gerrymander and benefit one political party," Daines said.
