| Friend, I’m not going to pretend you’ve been waiting your whole life to hear from me. You haven’t. My name is Aaron Flint. I’m a husband. A dad of three. A retired Army Lieutenant Colonel. And I’m running in one of the House races that will decide whether President Trump keeps his House majority, or gets impeached.  I didn’t grow up dreaming about Congress. I grew up riding the Amtrak between my mom and my dad's house, in a state where you settle your disagreements at the fenceline and a handshake meant something. My family homesteaded in towns with more cattle than people. We weren’t wired into power. We were wired into grit, faith, and good ol’ fashioned hard work.  After 9/11, I raised my right hand and spent 20 plus years in uniform, Iraq, Afghanistan, special operations deployments. I learned something simple in those years: When responsibility lands in your lap, you don’t duck. You step forward.  When I came home, I figured my stepping forward days were over. I took after my grandparents and went into local news. I hosted a radio show. I listened to Montanans who felt like Washington was drifting further from common sense.  Then this House seat opened. And before Montana voters said a word, the national money started pouring in. Because this isn’t just about Montana. This seat is leverage. Flip it, and President Trump’s majority is gone. Flip it, and committee control shifts. Flip it, and the same people who drove reckless spending and open borders regain ground. Flip it and Trump is impeached. They see a path back to power. I see a line that shouldn’t be crossed. I’m not a career politician. I’m not interested in climbing a ladder. I’m running to defend a majority that voters demanded, and to make sure this seat doesn’t become the one that tips the balance. But I can’t outspend the Democrat machine alone. They have national donors and party bosses. I’m building this the hard way, with Americans who believe this country is still worth defending. I’ve carried responsibility before. I’ll carry it again. Let’s hold the line, Friend. Aaron Flint U.S. Army (Ret.)
