Montana Legislature
In 2000, Jesse Laslovich was elected to the Montana House of Representatives, becoming the second youngest person ever elected to the Montana legislature. In 2004, he was elected to the Montana Senate where he represented SD 43 until 2010. During his time in the Montana Senate, he chaired the Senate Judiciary and Ethics Committees and served as Assistant Democratic Leader.
In 2007, Laslovich supported and voted unsuccessfully to pass out of committee SB 290 the "Implement National Popular Vote Act" which would have entered Montana into a pact to regardless of the Montana popular vote, award the states 3 electoral votes to the winner of the national popular vote. In the past 4 elections, Montana voted 3 times for the candidate that lost the national popular vote.
Laslovich resigned from the Montana Senate on February 10, 2010 to become Chief Legal Counsel to Montana's Commissioner of Securities and Insurance Monica Lindeen.

Famous quotes containing the word legislature:
“An ... important antidote to American democracy is American gerontocracy. The positions of eminence and authority in Congress are allotted in accordance with length of service, regardless of quality. Superficial observers have long criticized the United States for making a fetish of youth. This is unfair. Uniquely among modern organs of public and private administration, its national legislature rewards senility.”
—John Kenneth Galbraith (b. 1908)
