Late last month, as Montana Republican Ryan Zinke was busy rambling on cable news instead of attending town halls with his constituents, he said something pretty interesting:

He said, “Food security is national security” — and John, we were pretty shocked! Was he willing to buck his party and vote against Donald Trump’s SNAP cuts? Was he willing to stand up to Mike Johnson and help over 80,000 Montanans keep food on their plates?

Of course he wasn’t. Instead, he was talking about restricting Montana ranchers from selling beef in certain markets — all because of, uhh.. national security?

But ripping food security away from nearly 100,000 Montanans? He has no problem with that. Gutting the program that lifted 9,000 Montana children out of poverty last year? No qualms about that either.

It’s never been clearer: Ryan Zinke would rather let you go sick and hungry than tell Donald Trump no.

His cowardice is astounding, John — and that’s why we’re reaching out:

Montana can’t take two more years of Ryan Zinke’s negligence. Not when families are already struggling so much under Trump. So please, will you rush a donation to the Montana Democratic Party to help us take him down? Next year’s election is going to be CLOSE, and every donation helps Montana Democrats reach more voters before it’s too late.

Thanks so much,

Montana Democrats
