Amanda Gayle Curtis (née Morse, born September 10, 1979) is a Democratic Party politician and former member of the Montana House of Representatives, representing Butte, Montana in House District 76. A teacher by profession, Curtis has been teaching math and physics since 2006 and while the Montana Legislature was out of session, continued to teach. Curtis was chosen to replace John Walsh as Montana's Democratic Senate nominee in the 2014 election after Walsh dropped out. == Early life, education, and career == Curtis' parents divorced when she was four years old. During her childhood, she credits the union benefits and health insurance earned through her father's work for allowing her to obtain health care, including basic vision and dental services. Her family was poor, and her mother struggled with mental illness; the family sometimes relied upon food stamps and endured periods of having their utilities disconnected. Her support of gun measures such as expanded background checks stems directly from the death of her brother, who killed himself playing Russian roulette when he was 16. Curtis valued education as the way out of poverty.〔 After graduating from Montana Tech of the University of Montana in 2002 with a Bachelor of Science in biology, she went on to the University of Montana Western where she received her secondary teaching certificate in biology and mathematics in 2004.〔(Convergys – State Representative Amanda Curtis )〕〔(Butte legislator Curtis being urged to run for U.S. House )〕 From 2004 to 2006, she worked at Butte Central Catholic High School, teaching math and physics.

Curtis is currently working toward a Master of Education in educational leadership at the University of Montana, Missoula.〔(Butte’s Curtis not seeking re-election; plethora of others file )〕 She resides in Butte with her husband, Kevin.
