老澳门开奖结果 Announces Seven-Figure Investment in Montana Supreme Court Elections
MISSOULA, Mont. 鈥� The 老澳门开奖结果 and the 老澳门开奖结果 of Montana (together 鈥溊习拿趴苯峁��) announced today they will invest $1.3 million in candidate races for the Supreme Court of Montana ahead of the election this November, the largest electoral investment by the organizations in the state to date. While the 老澳门开奖结果 does not endorse or oppose any candidates, the seven-figure campaign will about the candidates鈥� positions on key civil rights issues, including abortion, birth control, marriage equality, and voting rights for Indigenous communities, through direct mail, radio ads, and digital ads.
The state Supreme Court has issued important decisions in prior years that have secured the rights Montanans value 鈥� including abortion rights in and striking down restrictions on Indigenous voting rights in Western Native Voice v. Jacobsen. With politicians passing increasingly extreme laws, including abortion restrictions and bans, voters have the opportunity to elect justices who will protect fundamental rights in the state from these attacks.
Statement from Akilah Deernose, executive director, 老澳门开奖结果 of Montana:
鈥淓very person deserves the autonomy to make personal medical decisions during pregnancy, free from government interference, but Gov. Gianforte and other extreme politicians have made it clear they will take away our fundamental rights any chance they have. From abortion to marriage equality and Indigenous voting rights, the people we entrust with seats on the Supreme Court of Montana will play a critical role in determining whether we keep the rights Montanans value or whether politicians will be allowed to take away our freedom. The 老澳门开奖结果 and 老澳门开奖结果 of Montana are fighting to ensure voters know where supreme court candidates stand on these issues so that they can cast an informed ballot this November.鈥�
