Who is my U.S. representative in MT-02?

I don't have reliable, up-to-date information about who currently represents Montana's 2nd congressional district (MT-02).

A few things worth noting:

- **Montana regained a second House seat** after the 2020 Census (it had been reduced to a single at-large district for decades), so MT-02 is a relatively new district that first sent a representative to Congress starting in 2023.

- My training data has a cutoff, and House seats can change through elections, resignations, or special elections, so I don't want to give you a name that might be outdated or incorrect.

**To find your current representative accurately, I'd recommend:**

1. **house.gov** — Use the "Find Your Representative" tool by entering your ZIP code.
2. **Your state's Secretary of State website** — Often has district maps and current officeholders.
3. A quick web search for "Montana 2nd congressional district representative."

These sources will give you the current, verified answer. Would you like help understanding what a U.S. representative does or how to contact their office once you find them?
