On June 23, Montana Republican state senator and Local 11 member Jason Small was elected executive secretary of the Montana AFL-CIO by unanimous consent at their annual convention. The Montana AFL-CIO represents 500 local lodges from 38 unions and 50,000 workers. Small, a member of the Northern Cheyenne Nation, currently serves the 21st district, which includes Busby, Montana, but this is his final term in the state senate. He also served as the president for L-11 at the time of his election to office in 2017.
