Redrawing District Lines

Flathead Beacon Editor in Chief Kellyn Brown joins the show to talk about the results of the 2020 census, which made Montana the first ever state to regain a seat in the House of Representatives after losing a seat in 1990. Starting with the 2022 election, Montana's at large congressional district will be split in two, prompting speculation about where the line will be drawn and who might run for the office. Later in the show, host Andy Viano runs through the biggest stories from the last seven days, including a contractor indicted on 12 counts of wire fraud and money laundering, a reminder that all county residents age 16 and up are eligible to receive a COVID-19 vaccine, and a push by the Evergreen Community Partners to construct sidewalks along key school routes.
