U.S. Census officials speaking in Missoula Monday avoided commenting on whether a citizenship question will be added to the 2020 Census and what it could mean for Montana. It comes at a time when the Trump administration is assembling a legal team determined to ask the country about its citizenship status.

“The big question is, ‘what about citizenship?’ We know what you know,” says federal Census Partnership Specialist Karen Murphy.

“What’s at stake is basically two things: power and money.”

Murphy says Montana could become the first state to regain a congressperson, which it lost in 1990.
