HELENA – Congressman Matt Rosendale (MT-02) issued the

following statement in response to the April 24 events at the Montana

State Capitol:

“I’ve participated in many spirited debates during my time in Montana’s

state legislature — lively civil discourse is encouraged as we work to find

the best policy solutions for Montanans, but there is no room in the public

square for political violence. I’m thankful for our brave law enforcement

officers who kept those involved safe, and I look forward to the Montana

House of Representatives returning to business.”
