Jeff Essmann is the Senate Majority Leader for the 62nd Montana Legislature. He represents Senate District 28 in Billings, Montana as a Republican. Essman was initially elected in 2005.[1] He is most notable for proposing Senate Bill 423 to reduce inappropriate use of medical marijuana in Montana.[2]
Essmann aborted his campaign for Governor of Montana in the 2012 election after it was determined he lacked funds and support.[3]
Emails obtained by the Great Falls Tribune in January 2013 showed Essmann was part of a plot by far-right conservatives in the Montana legislature to quash bills by more moderate Republicans.[4]
