Montanans deserve a Congressman who knows what it’s been like as a working person in this state, falling further behind year after year because of both parties’ failures.

I know what that’s like, and I’m tired of it.

Montana, Ryan Zinke just voted to make your healthcare more expensive. He doesn’t have a clue what it’s like to be holding on by your fingernails just trying to afford basic health insurance. We deserve a Congressman who votes to bring down their healthcare costs, not raise them.
221-205, House passes the “motion to discharge” the Jeffries 3-year ACA funding extension.

NINE (!) Republicans join unanimous Democrats in voting to advance it.

This tees up a final House vote tomorrow; it’s poised to sail through.

We’re done complaining about the way things are - we’re ready to get to work making things the way they oughta be. Proud to earn the endorsement of so many Montanans fighting for our freedoms in Helena.

I don’t know anyone who wants to see a mom shot in her car. Sorrow and anger are a natural response to seeing a horror like this on our screens and our streets. I hope we don’t leave it at that. I hope we get accountability and a full investigation. I know we can do better.

Watching what happened in Minnesota yesterday left me sad and angry. That’s not what public service looks like. That’s not government making our lives better or safer. That’s not America as it ought to be, or as it can be.

Our campaign is about Montanans pulling together to stand up to Ryan Zinke and his billionaire friends. Since launch, we:

- Raised over $150,000 from 2,000 donors
- 94% of our donations were under $100
- Our average donation was $53

Most Members of Congress are millionaires.

Not me - I was raised by a mom who picked up extra nursing shifts and a public school teacher dad, and both made just enough to get by. We need to elect more working people to Congress if we want it to work for folks like us.

People in power want to make us feel alone and hopeless, but it’s a lie. As a union leader, I know that it’s only true if we believe it’s true.

For Montana. For all of us. Thanks for showing up last night, Missoula - let’s win this thing, together.

When Elon Musk and DOGE came after public servants and public lands, I fought back. Because when they come for one of us, they come for all of us. I promise you this - as your Congressman, I will always do what’s best for Montana.

My opponent, Ryan Zinke, has billionaires and corporations behind him, but I’m not accepting a dime of corporate PAC money in this campaign. Pitch in today to show that it’s time for a new generation of leadership in Congress:
