Zephyr, also of Missoula and transgender, was simultaneously chosen as one of three minority whips.
Howell, a biological woman born Sarah J. Howell, was elected in 2022 as Montana’s first "nonbinary" legislator. She previously worked as a lobbyist and activist on women’s and LGBTQ+ issues, and serves as executive director of Montana Women Vote, a nonprofit that works to get low-income women into the political process.
Democrats in Montana just elected State Rep. SJ Howell as the first transgender Minority House Leader. https://t.co/E3y1fBvJvv

Howell was the only nominee for the minority leader role among the 44 House Democrats.
Zephyr, a biological man born Zachary Todd Raasch, is Montana’s first openly transgender lawmaker. He was also elected in 2022 and gained national attention in 2023 after House members barred him from the floor for refusing to apologize for telling colleagues supporting a ban on gender-affirming care for minors that they would have “blood” on their hands.
A trans radical partnered with trans extremist and fake news peddler Anthony "Erin" Reed (who has encouraged me to commit s—icide), has won re-election as a state lawmaker in Montana.
"Zooey Zephyr," the false identity of Zachary Todd Raasch, is a former competitive Super Smash Bros. player. In his time in office, he and Reed have appeared at socialist events, campaigning with the DSA.
"Zephyr" is among several trans activists elected into office as Democrats across the U.S.
Reed's followers celebrated the assassination of Charlie Kirk. I reported in my new book, The Zizians, that Reed's content was uploaded onto the manifesto site of trans death cult leader Jack "Ziz" LaSota. That cult is linked to at least eight violent deaths.

Bend Over Montana this is going to hurt ,LOL
WTAF?
Democrats in Montana must have no luck with women.
Once had a co-worker from Montana.
He’d say:
Montana, where men are men and sheep are nervous!.................
Montana has bee Californicated...........
Montana is another state where these election results are not believable.
Pretending that ‘Californians’ move everywhere and then out-vote the people born in a place is childish. The cheating, lying, demon-infested, Satan-worshipper, communist, LGBTQ, baby-murdering Left uses the cover of migrating ‘Californians’ for illegal alien voting and all manner of cheating.
What is it with males pretending to be female and the violence, “blood on their hands” rhetoric? The Cho units of transgenders has exceeded the former #1 mass murder rate per population identity Asian male (truth! math doesn’t lie!). Never vote for transgenders or any LGBTQ because they are mentally ill and have no business managing public affairs.
LOL People leave California looking for sanity. They are far more likely the remnant conservatives escaping and they vote Republican.
They’ll only care about their insane group
Lunacy rules!
Once they made fag marriage legal, the flood gates were opened.
That Adam’s Apple is a dead giveaway.................
What hasn’t? Even Mississippi!
LOL I bet
Montana was subject to early twentieth century mining union hardliners due to mining company overbearing actions and that union influenced democrat control has never left.
Much like Minnesota Farmers Socialism much of politics is local and has history.
The Democrats have assumed the role of liberators.
They are freeing people from the burden of moral judgment, personal restrictions, and the consequences of their own actions.
And the oppressors are those who oppose them. Those who would place limits on individual freedom of will and the ability to live as one sees fit.
One can only wonder where this path will lead.
Say what you will, but they are quite a handsome couple ...
