Jon Tester is on the ballot

As it stands right now, we’re just $1,825 away from reaching our $15,000 end-of-month fundraising goal. Can you rush $10 or $20 by midnight to make sure we get there? Team, As it stands right now, we’re just $1,825 away from reaching our $15,000 end-of-month fundraising goa…

Silencing 11,000 Montanans

The GOP wants to silence dissent in our State Legislature. Earlier this week, the Republican-led Montana State Legislature voted to silence Representative Zooey Zephyr after she spoke out against a bill that would ban gender-affirming care for minors across the state. Now, …

Can I explain something?

Can I explain something, John? I grew up in a twenty-four-by-thirty-six foot house. I lost three fingers on my left hand in a meat grinding accident when I was a kid. I am and always will be a farmer, like my folks and like my grandparents. Can I explain something, John? …

We can defeat Ryan Zinke

In 2022, Ryan Zinke barely won his election after being embattled by potential fraud and legal troubles, not to mention his anti-abortion stance. In 2022, Ryan Zinke barely won his election after being embattled by potential fraud and legal troubles, not to mention his anti…

re: yesterday

Hi there, John. We wanted to reach out again to bring yesterday’s message to the top of your inbox. We’re going to be working every single day between now and election day 2024 to elect as many Montana Democrats to our state legislature as possible. But we have limited resou…

Open this for a split!

John, In 2024, we have an opportunity to take back some power from the GOP. Currently, the state legislature is under Republican supermajority control, but we’ve seen how fed up people have become with Republican extremism in election after election. Montana is no differen…

sheila is right

Hey there, John, it’s Maddy – Finance Director for the Montana Dems. I want to make one thing clear: if we hit our 100 recurring donor goal by tonight (last I checked we’re sitting at 81 total donors), I can promise you we will be in a better position reelect Jon Tester and …

The opportunity before us

Recurring donations are the lifeblood of our organization and the more recurring donors we can count on each month, the more effectively we can plan our 2024 strategy in how we will spend our limited resources. In short, the more money we know we can count on each month, t…

Recurring Donations

Every donation made to the Montana Democratic Party makes a difference, John. Each time someone gives to our Party, they’re making an investment in electing Democrats up and down the ballot from the US Senate to the state legislature. But an important aspect of building a …

This could tip the balance of power

John, In 2024, Montana has the chance to be one of the most important battleground states in the country. The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee just announced that Ryan Zinke is one of their top targeted seats to flip blue in their effort to take back the House –…

damn proud

Hey John, Jon Tester here. I’m not like most of my colleagues in the Senate, and it’s not too hard to see why. All you have to do is look at my $12 flattop haircut and my collection of dirt-stained t-shirts. I’m the Senate’s only working farmer, and damn proud of it. Yes,…

Vulnerable Republicans

John, Matt Rosendale and Ryan Zinke are vulnerable. Between the ethically corrupt dealings of Mr. Zinke, and the heaping pile of no votes from Mr. Rosendale, they don’t have a lot to show for their time in Washington. This upcoming FEC deadline gives us our first opportuni…

Help us out

Just a few hours remaining

John, We all know people who like to talk a big game but can’t back it up. We all know those folks who will say one thing and do another and who never deliver on their promises. But the Montana Dems can’t afford to be like those kinds of people. We tell Montanans that our …

We’re not quite where we need to be

Why reelecting Senator Tester is so important

John, We wanted to make sure you saw Maddy’s message about this critical end-of-month goal and how it impacts our ability to reelect Senator Tester. The GOP is going to dump gobs of cash into Montana because they believe it’s their best opportunity to flip the Senate. We’re …

Montana has a critical Senate race

John, As you now know, Senator Tester is running for reelection to the United States Senate. His seat will likely be the top target for the GOP to flip if they want to regain control of the Senate. And in 2018, more than $70 million was spent on this race. So you can bet i…
