WHEREAS, Montana State Senator Shelley Vance SD34, (hereinafter, Senator Vance) has voted with the Democrats on key bills, promoted and supported by Republicans, during the 2025 legislative session;


WHEREAS, Senator Vance is now known as a member of “The Nine,” a group of Republicans who have been publicly rebuked by the Montana State Republican Party for their decision to vote with the Democrat block;



WHEREAS, the voting record of Senator Vance has contributed to blocking the goals of the Republican majority, thereby creating a dramatic change in the balance of power in the Montana Senate from Republican, to Democrat;


WHEREAS, the votes of “The Nine” have forced Senate leadership: to alter its rules; to insert moderate to liberal Republicans and Democrats onto key committees; and, to defeat key legislation regarding limited government, judicial reform, and election integrity;


WHEREAS, “The Nine” has voted with the Democrats with respect to the investigation into the matter of Senator Jason Ellsworth (also a member of “The Nine”) who is alleged to have diverted taxpayer money for his own benefit;

WHEREAS, in what is considered by many to be a retaliatory action, Senator Vance has recently called into question the ethics of Senate President Matt Regier, (allegations which she likened to those filed against Senator Jason Ellsworth), causing an investigation to be opened against Senate President Matt Regier;


WHEREAS, various members of the Gallatin County Republican Central Committee have communicated to Senator Vance their dismay, anger, and disgust with her voting choices; nevertheless, Senator Vance continues to choose to align herself with, and vote with the Democrats, in direct opposition to the desires of many of her constituents and the members of the Republican Central Committee; Therefore, be it


RESOLVED, that Senator Vance be censured and rebuked by the Gallatin County Republican Central Committee; and,


RESOLVED, the Gallatin County Republican Central Committee unanimously no longer supports Senator Vance.
