election will have the opportunity to vote for a Democrat running for federal office who has served his country in uniform in a combat zone. (In my case, 4x deployed overseas and 2x permanently stationed overseas.) It will also mark the first time that an honors service academy

graduate has run for federal office as a Democrat in MT. II. Montana is full of small business owners, whom vote - just not for Democrats, usually. I am the only candidate in the MT Democratic U.S. Senate primary with business experience, and the only, of any party, self-made

in the private sector (unless you consider #stevedaines, born with a silver spoon in his mouth, “self-made”). I also have a MBA with an Econ focus from the London Business School in the United Kingdom. III. Montana is full of farmers and ranchers. I’m the only candidate,

of either party, to have MT agricultural experience, having owned a 1,500 cattle ranch and farm in MT for nearly a decade. IV. Montana has a large older citizen population. In addition to supporting Medicare and Social Security, I’m the only candidate, of any party, to

have provided pro bono consulting to a startup nonprofit dedicated to reducing senior loneliness and depression and re-engaging seniors with their communities. It is now a going concern organization. V. Montana is a Labor rich state. My parents were members of MT labor unions.

I’m a proud MFPE member. I’m the only candidate in the Democratic US Senate primary who can win back the union members Democrats have lost to Trumpism - and will lose again without a compelling candidate. VI. Public education is vitally important in MT (and, everywhere else).

I’m the only candidate, of either party, to have served as a MT public school teacher. VII. Montana is home to many sovereign tribal nations with rich cultures. I’m the only candidate, of any party, to have not only grown up, in part, on a MT tribal nation, but to have lived

and worked full-time on a MT tribal nation. VIII. Climate change is an existential issue for humanity. I’m the only candidate, of any party, to have directly worked on clean, renewable energy projects, tackling climate change. Talk only goes so far.
