Friend, 2021 is a year I will never forget.
In July, we launched my campaign to run for Congress, and since then, we’ve traveled the state connecting with community members in nearly every county—meeting with voters and talking about how we can bring real change to the place we all call home.
Whether we were marching in solidarity at the pride parade, or having coffee with union leaders and workers, I’m reminded of the grit and grace that’s in the hearts of every Montanan I meet. It motivates me to continue our work meeting voters where they are and fighting for the issues and challenges we all face.
Below are a few of my favorite memories from the past year. I hope you enjoy them. And if you have any questions or concerns, please respond to this email directly. Otherwise, I hope to see you on the road in 2022!
Best,
Cora
A huge 2021 highlight was celebrating the LGBTQ community at Helena’s Pride Parade in Anchor Park. It was so humbling to have the opportunity to deliver remarks on stage.
One of my favorite moments was the women’s retreat I hosted alongside women from Montana’s Blackfeet and Salish Tribes. It’s always an honor to partner with our tribal communities.
As the daughter of a union worker, our brothers and sisters in the labor movement hold a special place in my heart. I was proud to spend 2021 talking with unions across our state about labor issues and the importance of collective bargaining. One highlight was the Teamsters Local 2 Meeting in Bozeman!
The Annual Crow Fair Celebration was an absolute blast. It was so moving to be a part of this century-old tradition. Special thanks to the Old Coyote – Bauerle family for the invitation and hospitality.
I am so inspired by Montana’s Democratic leadership. During the Legislative Caucus "Quarry Cookout” we shared a meal and dug into some of the real issues facing our state.
We had the opportunity to attend the Bozeman Veterans Day Ceremony alongside the American Legion and Veterans Alliance of Southwest Montana. Thank you again to Zone Commander Len Albright for his words about the sacrifices our men and women in the armed forces make.
From coffee meet-ups to town hall meetings, I love traveling my state and hearing from fellow Montanans about what matters to them most. We’ve got a long road ahead, but I’m so grateful to be fighting alongside you for a better future for our state and country.
We’re less than two weeks away from our end-of-month deadline and I’m counting on grassroots supporters like you to help us hit our goal and kick off 2022 with strength. Could you chip in $3 today to help us get there?
As always, I so appreciate your continued generosity and support.
