Party composition[edit]

Was previously listed as 50D and 50R but now is 51D and 49R. What's the reason for the change? Qqqqqq (talk) 16:39, 1 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Current members table[edit]

I am removing the column for residence and adding one for first term. Titling the column "first term" rather than "first elected" because in Montana legislators jump between houses. First elected can be confusing because it could mean first elected to the legislature rather than first elected to the House. Removing the residence column mainly because it is hard to maintain and not necessarily informative. To get residence you need to go 4 pages down on the Montana Legislature website and select each member individually. Plus the state redistricts every 10 years. Which means a person updating the names and assuming the residence is the same could leave a bunch of mistakes. If I'm missing something and there is an easier way let me know. The column can always be added back. Thanks!--Tbennert (talk) 19:57, 5 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This seems like a good move to me. Thanks! KingJeff1970 (talk) 16:16, 6 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
