I’m Sam Forstag – union leader, smokejumper, and Democrat running to flip MT-01. This is a red-to-blue race, and I’m coming to you with a critical update in our race.
BREAKING: Cook Political Report just shifted this race in our favor.
That means two things:
Our strategy of building a winning coalition and calling out the status quo is working.
Aaron Flint and his big money backers are going to do everything in their power to stop us.
It’s crunch time. We have to be prepared for anything the opposition throws our way in light of this news, from airing more ads against us to spreading misinformation about this race.
This is the closest a Democrat has come to winning Western Montana in decades.
That’s why a super PAC backing Aaron Flint is already spending $2,000,000 in ads against us.
But we have a grassroots movement on our side.
As we’ve traveled throughout the district, I’ve spoken with folks from all walks of life. Teachers, nurses, mechanics, you name it — and what I’ve heard has been consistent:
We’re being left behind by the same people who say they’re fighting for us.
Costs keep soaring with no end in sight.
And it’s not going to get any better unless we choose a different kind of leadership.
I know what it’s like to put in hundreds of hours of overtime just to still hang on by my fingernails. We deserve better, and that’s why I’ll put working people first in Congress – not corporate interests.
