In 2022, Zephyr won her election to the Montana House of Representatives. Upon her victory, she became the first openly transgender lawmaker elected in Montana.
Unfortunately, Rep. Zephyr’s time in Montana’s state legislature has been marked by baseless censorship from leaders of the extremist Republican supermajority.
Since April 26th – just four months after the start of her term – Zephyr has been banned from the House floor after voicing her dissent over a bill that prohibits gender-affirming healthcare for transgender youth.
But that hasn’t stopped Zephyr from showing up to protect LGBTQ+ rights in Montana. She has worked from benches and hallways in the state capitol building to ensure her voice is still heard – no matter what hateful Republicans have to say about it.
