CALL TO ACTION
We are asking for immediate action on legislative issue call, email or text senators (needs to be done asap) to vote to expel Sen. Jason Ellsworth from his senate position in the Montana legislature due to unethical evidence presented by the ethics committee.
EXPLANATION
Sen. Ellsworth on dec. 26, 2024, presented a bifurcated contract with a need for expediency (he was not authorized to spend the total of $170,000, thus two contracts), failed to disclose close association of contractor, contract included immediate payment, went around procurement procedures.
STATEMENT
Ask for a principled vote based on the ethics committee evidence as presented of unethical actions to expel Sen. Jason Ellsworth as a legislator in the Montana legislature, example:
Subject: Please Vote to Expel Senator Jason Ellsworth Based on Ethics Evidence
Dear Senator,
I’m writing to you as a concerned Montanan who believes in the integrity of our state government. The Senate Ethics Committee report has laid out clear evidence of unethical behavior by Senator Jason Ellsworth, and it’s shaken my trust in our legislature. As a constituent, I’m asking you to take a stand and vote to expel him from the Montana State Senate.
This isn’t about politics—it’s about principle. The report shows actions that no legislator should be allowed to get away with, and I believe we deserve representatives who uphold the highest standards. Please review the committee’s findings and cast a principled vote to remove Senator Ellsworth. Montana’s future depends on leaders we can trust, and your vote can help make that a reality.
Thank you for listening and for all you do for our state.
Sincerely,
[Your Name]
[Your City/Town], Montana
