| Today, non-partisan race rater Cook Political Report shifted its prediction for Montana’s 1st Congressional District towards Democrats — the latest sign that Montanans are tired of being left behind by House Republicans.
Cook writes in part that “The political environment…makes this a better pickup opportunity for Democrats this year,” adding that “No Going Back PAC, the super PAC affiliated with MAGA Inc, has also started airing anti-Forstag TV ads, evidence that this race is competitive.”
REMINDER: The ratings change comes as polling shows Sam Forstag in a dead heat with Aaron Flint as he continues to build momentum and garner support from both sides of the aisle.
DCCC Spokesperson Lindsay Reilly:
“Aaron Flint has made it clear that he works for his D.C. party bosses, not hardworking Montana families. Smokejumper and union leader Sam Forstag is a proven leader who’s ready to take on corruption and make Washington work for Montanans — that’s why voters will enthusiastically send him to Congress in November.” |
