John,

There’s only one way a Montana Democrat wins our state’s open U.S. House seat in 2022, and that’s by persuading people who didn’t vote for a Democrat in the last election to change their vote in this next election.

Does that sound unlikely? It is. But Laurie Bishop is the only candidate in this race who’s proven their ability to do it. She won her election to the state legislature in a long standing Republican district and her success was no fluke — she kept her seat in two subsequent elections and still holds it today.

I’m supporting Laurie Bishop for two simple reasons. First, she can win. Second, when she does win, she has the rare ability to represent all of Montana effectively and with integrity.

But to get Laurie on the ballot in 2022, we have to build a groundswell of support from folks like you today. Will you join me in supporting her by pitching in now?

I knew Laurie was special the moment I met her in my own campaign for Congress. Having spent my time in Montana expanding economic opportunity alongside small business owners and expanding access to public lands alongside people of all stripes, it is clear that Laurie is someone who comes to understand the challenges of everyday Montanans the old fashioned way: by spending time with them. More importantly, she finds solutions to those challenges the very same way, by building the kinds of relationships that make lasting change possible.

We face immediate and acute economic challenges in Montana including rising housing prices, a declining workforce, climate change, and a lack of accessible and affordable high-quality child care. But these challenges aren’t our own and can’t be solved alone. If we send Laurie Bishop to Congress, we will have a champion for tackling these challenges and a skilled lawmaker who can build the partnerships needed to deliver the solutions we need.

Laurie can lead the way for Montana, but only if we do everything we can to get her to Washington. Please join me in supporting Laurie Bishop by making a contribution to her campaign today.

Thanks,

Grant Kier
2018 Democratic Candidate for Congress
