Like I told the Bozeman Daily Chronicle - Ryan Zinke should be scared. He stood back and let his party bosses gut our public land agencies. If he’s going to come after my coworkers’ jobs, I’m going to take his.

Today we honor Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s legacy - and recommit ourselves to the work of building a more just, more equitable America.

Hamilton, you really showed up for me. Thank you to everyone who helped organize yesterday’s event. I appreciated hearing from all of you and getting to talk more about our campaign to make Montana work for working people again.

If the Democrats want to start winning, we’ve got to start showing up – and not just in big cities. It was great grabbing some coffee in Dillon this morning, thanks to everyone for joining me to talk about our campaign and the Montana we all want to build together.

When I decided to run for Congress, I knew we had our work cut out for us. Meeting everyone in Butte last night left me full of hope – it’s time to take back Congress from corporations and billionaires and make it work for working people.

Building a Montana that works for working people starts with showing up and meeting folks. It was great to be in Deer Lodge this morning, thanks to everyone who stopped by to talk about our campaign.

Hope isn’t something we feel, it’s something we do. Thanks to everyone who joined us last night in Bozeman - we’re going to organize all across this district to win in 2026.

In 2025, Ryan Zinke voted for a budget that raised our healthcare costs, slashed Medicaid, and gave away huge tax cuts to his billionaire backers.

In 2026, we’re voting him out. Excited to hit the road this week to meet folks across our district! Hope to see you there.

A week ago, we launched our campaign. My sister and our grandparents were there with me from the start.

Thank you to everyone who’s pitched in, signed up to volunteer, and helped share our message since - you all help me feel the kind of hope it’s gonna take to flip this seat.

Angus is helping me call through some of our campaign's founding donors to say thank you. If you chip in a few bucks today, you might just get a call from us!

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.

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.

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.
