Mr. Speaker From NE Mont.

Eastern Montana might see a little more representation in the state House.

Rep. Austin Knudsen, R, District 34, was selected as speaker of the Montana House on Wednesday, Nov. 12. Knudsen covers a portion of Valley County in his district and just recently took 76 percent of the votes in the district during the election.

Republicans now hold the majority in the house by 59-41.
