The U.S. Census Bureau Deputy Director will host a panel in Bozeman Monday about the upcoming 2020 Census. The Census happens every ten years and there’s a lot at stake for Montana this time around — from federal funding to another congressional seat.

“The census only occurs every ten years, but it’s a vital program that represents millions of dollars in federal funding; our voting precincts are based on it and our congressional representation,” says Mary Craigle, the census manager for Montana.
