Hey folks! Game changer here in Montana. Just hours after I announced I was running against him, two-term Republican Senator Steve Daines withdrew from the race. Montana now has a rare open Senate seat, and the political elite are panicking. This is our moment. Can I count on you to rush a donation today to keep this momentum going? Help us deliver the independent leadership our state so desperately deserves. Please chip in now.
