Amy McGrath would be one hell of an upgrade for the people of Kentucky

  Team, The gridlock in Washington is downright awful. Most of it can be chalked up to one person’s refusal to make any progress: Mitch McConnell. But the good news is this is a democracy. And he’s up for re-election in 2020. Today, his road to holding on to the Senate gavel just got …

Protecting our outdoor spaces

  Team, Montanans know how important protecting our national parks and public lands are. These are special places. I want to make sure that future generations can enjoy our treasured outdoor spaces the way that generations before us already have. My goal is pretty simple: to keep publ…

Looking for your input

  Team, I’m home in Montana this week meeting with folks about the issues we’re working on in the Senate, and what folks are seeing on the ground in our state. While I’m here, I want to make sure you have the chance to share your thoughts, too. Will you take a few moments to complete …

That’s not me

  Team, I wanted to drop you a message today — before the important FEC deadline at midnight tonight. I’m asking you to pitch in if you can. A lot of elected officials get into politics for the power, the money, or the fame. That’s just not me. I’ve been working on my family’s farm my…

About gerrymandering

  I’ve got to say, team, I’m pretty disappointed by the Supreme Court’s decision yesterday to uphold gerrymandering. It’s just plain wrong for elected officials to choose their voters, instead of the other way around. That’s exactly what gerrymandering does. If a candidate never has t…

Seven fingers

  Team —  When I was a kid, I lost three fingers on my left hand grinding meat in our family’s butcher shop. I don’t even remember putting my hand there — but I can damn sure remember pulling it out. Heck, I can even recall my mom tossing me into the back of her blue 1965 Pontiac Bonn…

Just a dirt farmer

  Team —  I have lived my entire life on my family’s farm. That explains a lot about me. I didn’t get into public service to get rich or because I craved power and influence. I ran because the people of Montana deserve a seat at the table — someone fighting for them, not special inter…

Just stepped out

  Team, I just stepped out of a meeting to ask you for a favor. So I’ll make this quick. The folks on my fundraising team are a bit worried about our numbers. We’ve got to hit our goal by the FEC deadline in just a few days, and right now we’re behind our usual pace. I know this aweso…
