Republican Sen. Wendy McKamey Votes Against Her Party’s Values
Cascade County, It No JOKE – Wendy is WOKE!
Sen. Wendy McKamey cast a vote against SB 128, a bill designed to prevent county governments from stripping elected clerks and recorders of their election duties during their term. When voters choose an official, they do so with a clear understanding of the responsibilities tied to that role. Allowing another elected official to diminish those duties undermines the trust and intent of the voters.
Sen. McKamey’s vote against SB 128 is comparable to electing a U.S. President and then stripping them of most of their powers and responsibilities. This would effectively transform the role from a position of leadership and authority to one of symbolic presence, undermining the mandate given by the voters.
Sen. McKamey stood out as the sole Republican to side with all Democrats in voting against SB 128—a decision with significant implications for Cascade County, where voters had chosen Sandra Merchant as Clerk, Recorder, and Election Administrator. Adding to the intrigue, McKamey also contributed to the campaign of Rena Moore Fontana, the Democratic candidate for Cascade Clerk and Recorder running against Sandra Merchant the Republican candidate. Sen. McKamey’s decision to vote against SB 128 enabled Cascade County Commissioners Joe Briggs and Jim Larsen to remove election administrator duties from the Clerk and Recorder. This effectively overturned the choice of Cascade County voters who had elected Sandra Merchant to oversee elections.

The Montana Freedom Caucus calls them the RINO 9 and here are Cascade County’s two that must GO: Check McKamey’s voting record-it’s atrocious!
