Hi,

I’m Matt Rains, former Democratic candidate for Congress -- the same seat Kathleen Williams is running for. 

I’m writing because, although we ran against each other for six months, I endorse Kathleen wholeheartedly to be our next Congresswoman from Montana. She truly will dedicate her life and efforts to working for all of us. 

I’m going to tell you why in just a minute, but first, will you pitch in $20 to Kathleen’s campaign? She’s hands-down the best person to be Montana’s voice in Congress. But she needs the resources and support to win this campaign. Will you help out?

My family has lived in Montana and operated the Birdtail Ranch in Simms for five generations. I’m a proud West Point graduate, Blackhawk helicopter pilot, and Iraq War veteran. I deeply cherish the heritage of what my ancestors created and appreciate my responsibility to carry that hard-work forward. On the campaign trail with Kathleen, I saw firsthand how committed she is to protecting the Montana we both proudly call home.

I trust Kathleen to stand up for farmers and ranchers because she spent a large part of her career working across the west to keep folks on the land and bring new generations back to farming and ranching. I trust Kathleen to fight for my fellow veterans because her father was a World War II veteran and her husband served during Vietnam, later volunteering to put himself in harm's way as a civilian advisor in Iraq.

What I love most about Kathleen is that she isn’t afraid to tell you what she thinks even if she knows you might disagree. Yet she can find the common ground between sides. We need her kind of honesty, independence and courage. These are the values that make Montana special. 

If you’re like me, you’ve had enough of the nonsense in Congress from our current Representative. We can’t afford more of the same with Matt Rosendale. Join me in endorsing Kathleen by chipping in any amount now.

Despite the fact that we ran against each other, there’s no doubt in my mind that Kathleen will be our champion in DC and finally give us a representative we can be proud of. I hope you’ll join me in voting for her in the June 2nd primary and in November.

Thank you,

Matt Rains
