Hillary Clinton, her husband said, would give tax credits for people who invest in places that have high poverty rates and low incomes and would treat drug problems that ravage reservations like a public health issue.

Clinton made several Montana-specific references. He said when Democrat Ted Schwinden was governor, he was “so open and transparent he published his schedule every day” and the public could sit in on meetings. He compared that to Trump, who he criticized for not releasing his tax return.

Rep. Margie MacDonald, D-Billings, told a story about Hillary Clinton before the speech.

MacDonald said she was making dinner one night in 1996 when the doorbell rang. It was a package, a book sent from and written by Hillary Clinton, autographed with a handwritten note.

In the book, "It Takes a Village: And Other Lessons Children Teach Us," Clinton referenced the Not In Our Town Campaign that happened in Billings after a series of hate crimes.

"Clinton has stood strong for our children, our family and our elders for decades," MacDonald said. "And she will not give up or back down on that powerful mission."

McDonald said the gesture shows how Clinton "pays attention to what is happening in this country."
