We have exciting news, John:
Brand New Congress (BNC), an organization that’s dedicated to helping elect the next wave of progressive leadership in Washington, just endorsed Tom’s campaign!
Having the support of the BNC community is going to provide a huge boost to our campaign. After all, this group invested in folks like Jamaal Bowman, Cori Bush, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez early in their campaigns to help power them to victory.
Read more about Brand New Congress’ endorsement of Tom from executive director Adrienne Bell (below), and then make a donation to keep powering Tom’s campaign for progressive change.
Thanks so much,
Team Winter

Subject: Welcome to the slate, Tom Winter!
Team – I’m excited to welcome Tom Winter to the 2022 Brand New Congress slate!
Tom is a former Montana State Legislator who has spent the last decade relentlessly organizing in Western Montana. In 2018, he flipped a district that went for Trump by 11 points by running an unapologetically progressive campaign rooted in working class values that run deep in Montana.
Tom fiercely believes in leading with his values. As a proud union member of IBEW 206, last year his campaign became the first to unionize in Montana state history! And when COVID19 essentially shut down his first run for Congress in 2020, Tom converted his team into a mutual aid organization delivering groceries and medications to people isolated by the pandemic.
Montana’s brand new district is our chance to prove that progressive policies can win in rural communities. Join the fight and [make] a contribution to Tom’s campaign now.
As a freshman legislator in the Montana House, Tom carried a record 24 bills fighting for healthcare, student debt relief, minimum wage and overtime protections, legalizing recreational cannabis, and climate action – just to name a few.
As Tom says:
“It’s not radical to believe that if you work a full-time job you should be able to afford
a roof over your head, food on the table, and an education for you and your family.
What’s radical is having the power to change it and doing nothing.”
Tom believes that the rural West deserves, as much as any other community, champions who support a Green New Deal, protect our voting rights, and fight for healthcare for all.
Once he wins the primary, Tom will face Trump-acolyte Ryan Zinke, the former congressman turned Interior Secretary responsible for selling off protected lands and national monuments like Bears Ears to the highest bidder. Ryan Zinke is back and running for the newly created seat despite the fact he doesn’t even live in Montana.
We’re joining Tom in standing up to the dark money groups backing Zinke. Will you help us stand against corruption and rush a donation to Tom’s campaign right now?
This brand new seat is a huge opportunity for progressives. Tom has already proven that progressive values can win over rural voters by organizing across Western Montana with the people most impacted by destructive corporate politics.
We are excited to partner with Tom as he energizes voters, building a powerful coalition to transform the lives of working families in Montana – and everywhere. Will you pitch in now to help Tom win?
Welcome to the slate, Tom!
