Patriot, I’ve given my blood, sweat, tears, and voice to this country for over 30 years. For those who don’t know me, my name is Ryan Zinke. I’m a retired Navy SEAL who spent 23 years in the line of duty before making my way to Congress. During my time in active duty, I was deployed all over the world - to Asia to target terrorist cells, to Bosnia to stop war criminals, to the Middle East to combat radical Islamic threats - before being named the Ground Forces and Task Force Commander at SEAL Team 6. Then, in 2008, I retired from my life on the frontlines and decided to continue my service to this great country in another capacity: as a State Senator in Montana. And I’ll be honest, Patriot, serving this great state came naturally to me. As a fifth-generation Montanian and someone who grew up right here in Whitefish - this is my home and I proved over and over again that NO ONE would fight harder for it than me. So, with the help of some friends and family, I decided to go one step further and run for Congress. We were able to come out on top, but after just one term in the House, I got another call that I couldn’t ignore. President Trump nominated me to serve in his cabinet as the United States Secretary of the Interior. After serving in Trump’s Administration, I rejoined my peers in the House, where I continued to fight against the radical policies the Left initiated and supported President Trump’s return to the White House every step of the way. And now, with Republicans back in control of the White House, Senate, and House, I’m working around the clock with my GOP colleagues to deliver on the promises we made, Patriot. But it’s come at a cost… As one of President Trump’s allies and top supporters, I knew the Left would spend a good amount of time and resources to defeat me. However, I didn’t expect them to throw the kitchen sink at me! They’re going to lengths I didn’t think were feasible to kick me to the curb this time around, and I simply can’t hold them off alone this time. So, I’m coming to you, Patriot... I’m counting on you, Patriot... Thanks in advance, Ryan Zinke
