This series contains incoming and outgoing correspondence ranging across a spectrum of legislative topics. Correspondents include constituents, elected officials, state employees, legislative staff members, and professional researchers. Topics include action requests, legislative strategies, and inquiries on behalf of constituents. These materials provide insights into the internal workings of the Montana Legislature in the years following passage of the current State Constitution and Steve Waldron's approach to his legislative responsibilities.

This series contains research files collected by Steve Waldron during his tenure in the Montana State Legislature and are organized by subject (following his original headings). Files in this series contain a mix of legislative bills (both marked-up and final copies), Waldron's handwritten notes, transcriptions of testimony, and legislative staff reports. Most materials relate directly to bills before the Legislature (often bills that received attention across several sessions); however, some files concern topics of interest to Steve Waldron that never reached the level of formal legislative introduction. These materials provide insights into the internal workings of the Montana Legislature and Steve Waldron's focal issues.
