When Gov. Gianforte gave his first State Of The State speech, he made the usual GOP talking points of cutting corporate tax rates, cutting essential environmental regulations and promised to promote anti-abortion and anti-woman legislation.

He failed to mention that he intended to pass this trickle-up economic platform and misogynistic policy through a cabinet of yes-men who just got a huge pay raise.

Montana deserves so much better than Gianforte, and it’s our duty as Democrats to elect leaders to state and local offices who will hold him and his cabinet of overpaid goons accountable. Can I count on you to help us add 275 donations to flip the state legislature?

As news continues to break about his Cabinet and state agency directors, we know that across the board, Gianforte appointees will receive up to 46% more than their predecessors under Gov. Bullock, according to the Independent Record.

They've done nothing and are receiving raises while hundreds of thousands of Montanans have to choose between paying their rent and putting food on their table.

Why are they getting such exorbitant raises? Because it’s a part of Gianforte’s trickle-up economic plan. The rich get richer while they passively watch the people of our great state struggle. Classic GOP.

We have to do whatever we can to hold these bad actors accountable. Help elect Democrats so we can have accountability and peace of mind once again!

Together, we can achieve great things.
