A special thank you to Russell Cleveland for coming on the show yesterday & talking about his candidacy for Montana’s 1st Congressional District.
This was my first time speaking with Russell & I was very impressed by some of his answers.
We have 2 Congressional districts here in Montana, and the western district is only an R+5 district. Very winnable for a Democratic candidate, especially in a wave election cycle.
In 2022, the district went to the Republican winner by just 3 points, a margin of victory by only 7,800 votes.
A wholeheartedly believe that our district is poised to flip this November, so I reached out to the 3 Democratic candidates running in the primary for MT-1.
Even if you don’t live in Montana, please give these interviews a listen, & please consider donating to their campaigns if you can spare it.
Let’s help these candidates flip this seat.
