Daniel Emrich

Daniel Emrich is an American politician serving as a member of the Montana Senate since 2023. Representing the Republican Party, he gained legislative attention in February 2023 for introducing Senate Bill 235. This proposed legislation sought to restrict science education in public schools to "scientific fact," defining such facts as observable and repeatable while categorizing scientific theories as speculation. The bill faced significant opposition from educators, students, and the Board of Public Education, who expressed concerns that the measure would hinder the teaching of established scientific concepts such as climate change, gravity, and cell theory.
