Folks --

I’m going to ask you to pitch in a few bucks to my Democratic campaign ahead of our end of quarter deadline. But first, I wanted to take just a minute to explain why I’m running for our new congressional seat -- and why your support is critical to our success.

It’s painfully apparent that the Montana we love is slipping away. Decades of Republican policies have turned our state into a playground for the rich and powerful.

And while the wealthy get to do whatever they please, it’s us in the middle who have to live with the consequences of the GOP’s “leadership” -- being priced out of the housing market, seeing our state be ravaged by fire and our neighbors targeted by discriminatory and bigoted laws.

I’ll be honest with you, after I lost my race for Montana’s Public Service Commission in 2020, I didn’t think I’d run another campaign. But the threat of Republicans’ destruction is too great to sit on the sidelines. So I’m running for Congress to fight for my fellow Montanans, because I want to create opportunities like I had growing up for everyone, where hard work pays off.

We have a real opportunity now to cut through the lies, dark money, and obstruction that hallmarks our Republican representatives. For the first time in decades, we can send a true voice for rural and everyday Montanans to Washington -- we must meet this moment.

For our state and our country -- our majority and our democracy -- we need to fight like hell to ensure we elect a hardworking Democrat to this new seat. Will you join me in this moment stepping up for Montana? Your $5 donation will be a great help to reaching our quickly approaching end of quarter deadline »

I’m proud and grateful to be in this fight with you,

Monica Tranel
