Strength — not just from Democrats, not just from Republicans, but from all Montanans seeking federal office. Montanans are tired of politicians who refuse to answer questions, who refuse to tell it to them straight. The bar is not set high; we are running to replace a congressman that body-slammed a reporter. So, surely my fellow candidates have learned that having the courage to stand up for what is right is the most basic prerequisite for public service. And yet all we hear is silence. We need a change. We don’t need candidates who hide behind party loyalty, or who say nothing at all, or who operate solely on political calculations.
