In a district that leans Republican, Montana's at-large district, incumbent Greg Gianforte has consistently led in polling. But as the election draws nearer, polls have tightened and in the latest poll his lead is probably within the margin of error. Why that is, is not at all clear - his opponent is undeniably an extreme liberal (no matter how hard the media will try to claim otherwise), far out of touch with the voters of Montana.
Greg Gianforte on the other hand is a down to earth, solidly pro-Montana congressman. In his own words,
I’m not a government insider. I spent my entire career creating jobs in the private sector – from mowing lawns as a teenager to founding five different start-up companies. I’ve worked to improve Montana’s economy through the “Better Montana Jobs” project and launched scholarship programs to help low-income Montana students and our veterans pursue the education and training they need to start a career in Montana.
The liberal media negatively portray Greg Gianforte as a wealthy congressman. His wealth comes from the business he created in Montana that is has grown into a significant employer of high paying jobs in the state. That should be celebrated, not condemned.
Because the race has seemingly tightened as his liberal opponent has aggressively avoided allowing herself to be portrayed as anything but a moderate, by being evasive on direct questions, this is no time for Montana voters to be complacent.
Thank you.
