Daniel Zolnikov

I was first elected as a Republican Billings Representative to the Montana Legislature in 2013. During my time in the House, I served on and chaired the Energy and Technology Committee where I spent over 6 years working on energy and technology policy. I passed multiple nationally leading pieces of legislation that prevented the government from obtaining your digital information via electronical devices, GPS location and electronic communications. I created the first law enforcement team that focused solely on human trafficking and passed the nation's strongest freedom of the press bill. I successfully updated major utility and energy laws to ensure Montana had a fair, competitive environment that allowed resources to compete fairly. I also ensured your digital energy utility data was your personal property. Your freedoms were my business, and I worked hard to ensure all Montanans were guaranteed our freedoms as technology continued to get intertwined in our lives.

I am now serving in the Montana State Senate and successfully passed a variety of legislation during the 2023 session which is available to see on the legislation page. 

Thank you for letting me continue to serve Montana.
