Nancy Wilson
Nancy Wilson is a former Democratic member of the Montana House of Representatives, representing District 95 from 2015 to 2017.
Wilson did not seek re-election to the Montana House of Representatives in 2016.
Wilson previously represented District 97 in 2013. She resigned from the state house on December 31, 2013[1] because of a requirement in the state's Public Employee Retirement System that enrollees must resign from all state jobs for 90 days. Wilson, who retired from the University of Montana on December 20, 2013, after 28 years, and also worked in the governor's office in the 1970s, said that opting for benefits while a legislator was a mistake. She announced that she would run again in the reapportioned District 95 in the 2014 election.[2]

Scorecards
A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.
Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
