Sharing my op-ed from last week. I'll be voting for Alani Bankhead. Bodnar is a good guy, but until we have RCV he cannot win this election. Bodnar would split the Democratic vote while the republicans will vote for the republican. #mtpol #mtnews #mtsen billingsgazette.com/opinion/colu...

Seth Bodnar cannot win as an Independent | James Reavis
Democrats and Republicans, despite our differences, should agree on one issue this November: Not voting for Seth Bodnar.

At Billings forum, Montana Democrats reject idea that U.S. Senate seat is a longshot
Immigration, data centers and affordability were central focuses of Thursday’s forum, one of a number of similar events being held by Democratic groups around the state this primary season.

Please do not sign any petition to put an “independent” candidate on the Montana ballot for Congress. Any “independent” will have to decide who to caucus with after the election anyway, so it’s just one step removed from picking D or R. #mtnews #mtpol #mthouse #mtsen

Jeanette Rankin bravely voted no to war. Trump rose to power by attacking the war in Iraq. Now, when Trump illegally bombs another country and claims to run it, our federal MT delegation kneels to him as supplicants to a king. How weak, feeble, and subservient the @MTGOP has become. #mtnews #mtpol

There will be no SNAP money for MT children on November 1. @GovGianforte had the money, legal authority, and power to temporarily use state funds to keep kids fed. He could have stopped this oncoming crisis but did not. #mtleg #mtnews #mtpol @MTDems billingsgazette.com/news/state-r...

With SNAP cuts looming, Gianforte says MT won’t pay to maintain food assistance benefits
Around 77,000 Montanans will lose access to food assistance on Nov. 1 unless the federal government takes action or state dollars are used to foot the bill.
