We are proud to endorse ballot initiative CI-132, Nonpartisan Courts in MT. CI-132 is a simple initiative that puts one sentence into MT’s constitution: “judicial elections in Montana shall remain nonpartisan.” Keep judges accountable to the people’s interests, not deep-pocketed political interests.
