Idk, Dave...I’ve flipped a Trump +11 district in Western MT before. +7 sounds winnable to me. But I guess I’m a not your traditional Democrat #mtpol

Western Montanans have a deep sense of identity. This is my home. These are my neighbors.
And they’re tired of corrupt politicians like Ryan Zinke that fly in from their California homes when the weather’s nice. #mtpol

We used to vote for the person - not the Party here. Problem is that both parties have let us down with their corruption and false promises.
It’s the politicians that have failed us. But I still believe in Western Montana and it’s people. #mtpol

Disenfranchised Democrats, Independents, Montanans - don’t lose hope in us.
We built this damn place. They don’t get to take it all away from us without a fight. #mtpol

We can win back what was lost by talking to each other again - meeting on common ground.
And for the love of god actually *running on policies that help the people* #mtpol

We did this in my community when I flipped that +11 Trump seat. It’s not easy, it’s hard work.
We knocked thousands of doors. We had honest conversations - not bs political talking points and madlib corporate buzzwords #mtpol

Turns out when you listen to each other you find out we’re all dealing w/ the same struggles.
We all are worried about being able to afford to live in our communities. Afford healthcare, childcare, school, groceries, gas. #mtpol

It’s the duty of our representatives to solve these problems - and they’ve failed miserably.
They’ve let corporations and billionaires buy government - buy a greater share of the pie off our labor and our taxes. #mtpol

I’ve had enough.
Billionaires are going to pay their taxes. Corporations are going to pay a living wage. Nobody’s going broke over healthcare or school.
The solutions to these problems aren’t radical. What’s radical is the status quo and doing the same sh*t over & over. #mtpol

I’ve got no donation link to share. Frankly I’m tired of money dictating everything in politics.
Nothing else to drop other than: please, my fellow Montanans in #mtpol don’t give up. I know it hasn’t been good for a while. But we need you in this fight. We’re all that’s left.

Also - sorry Dave if the tone was off. It’s late. And I actually really respect your electoral and data analysis @Redistrict. I am genuinely a map nerd and you’re obviously an expert. Just don’t count us out of this fight quite yet :)
Also I do want to be clear - Helena has always been a part of the Western Montana identity and culture...
