The City-County seeks a professional lobbyist who has demonstrated effective experience working with the Montana Legislature and whose other clients will not pose a conflict of interest with the priorities of the City-County. Experience and expertise in local government matters, specifically related to municipalities, is preferred. The successful respondent will be retained to represent and lobby on behalf of the City-County on matters, determined by the Butte-Silver Bow Council of Commissioners (Council), before the Montana Legislature. Priorities set by the Council for the 2025 legislative session included affordable housing, environmental quality, municipal finances, land use regulations, renewable and clean energy opportunities. The adopted legislative priorities are available upon request. The City- County anticipates adopting its legislative priorities for the 2025 legislative session in November 2024.
