| DCCC Spokesperson Lindsay Reilly released the following statement after Congressman Ryan Zinke announced that he would not run for re-election in Montana’s 1st Congressional District:
“Ryan Zinke’s decision to not run for re-election is the latest proof point that the Republican rank and file know their majority is doomed. Montanans have soured on Republicans’ broken promises and their failed agenda that has raised costs on everyone, ripped health care away from tens of thousands in the state, and has harmed Montana farmers and ranchers with reckless tariffs – all to fund tax breaks for their billionaire backers.
“As one of the DCCC’s Districts in Play, Montana’s 1st District is a prime pick-up opportunity and Democrats will fight to make sure that Montanans finally have a representative who puts working families first, not the wealthiest few.”
MT-01 was added to the DCCC’s Districts in Play list last month, signaling Democrats’ optimism that the district is winnable. |
