Edie believes that Montanans should be able to enjoy everything the state has to offer and will continue to support legislation which promotes our way of life.

HB 660 - 2019
Requested by Sen. McClafferty; Sponsored by Rep. Joel Krautter (R)
This provided the funds needed to create a mobile crisis unit program in Montana. By creating a mobile crisis unit, individuals experiencing a mental health crisis can be treated where they are instead of being forcibly taken to an alternative location. This allows mental health experts across Montana to address issues as they arise and in turn helps lower the suicide rate. Additionally, it demonstrates Edie's ability to work across the aisle to get things done.
