If you’ve ever wondered what hope looks like in a broken political world, look no further — because that’s exactly what this race to kick out Gov. Greg Gianforte and take back our state is. I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve heard “This is my first event” or “This will be the first time I’ve ever voted for a Democrat” over the course of this campaign — and that’s for a reason. It’s because we’re running in a disturbing and unsettling time for Montanans. Everything is on the line, {NAME}. [This is a campaign of firsts, and that includes having you by my side, {NAME}. Will you send your first donation to my campaign before my upcoming public fundraising deadline on Sunday at midnight?]( If you've stored your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will process now.

It’s clear that this election is anything but typical. We’ve got a greedy billionaire running to deepen his own pockets and those of his rich buddies at the expense of the hard working folks of Montana. Folks who just want to be able to afford to live where they work, send their kids to a good public school, and keep the government out of their personal decisions. Gianforte’s got to go. And together, we’re going to make it happen. [Will you chip in to help me hit one of our last public-facing fundraising goals of this campaign before our deadline on Sunday at midnight?]( [CHIP IN]( — Ryan --------------------------------------------------------------- For more than 25 years, Ryan was a successful gun industry executive. But he also saw how unchecked extremism could take away American freedoms and even jeopardize our democracy. Ryan sees the same thing happening to Montana: wealthy extremist Greg Gianforte bought his seat with his own millions, and now he’s raising our taxes in order to give tax breaks to corporations, making Montana unaffordable, defunding our public schools, locking up our public lands, hijacking our freedoms, and rigging the system for the rich. Ryan chose Raph Graybill as his running mate because no Montanan has done more to protect constitutional rights and freedoms from Greg Gianforte. Since Gianforte became governor, Raph has blocked more than a dozen different unconstitutional laws that invaded Montanans’ constitutional rights. Ryan and Raph are running as champions for ALL Montanans and to Get Our Montana Back! »]( MONTHLY »]( MORE »]( UP FOR EMAILS »]( PAID FOR BY BUSSE FOR MONTANA • DEMOCRAT • PO BOX 8537 • KALISPELL, MT 59904 If you would like to unsubscribe, click here: [unsubscribe]( To receive less email from us, [click here](.
