Anyone who says elections don't matter, isn't paying attention!

Everyday Montanans are getting the short end of the stick. At the grocery store, in the housing market and at the gas pump.

This much has been clear.

As most Americans, and Montanans struggle to get by, this administration has shown that they do not care.

Unacceptable behavior and rhetoric. We deserve better and we will flip this seat in November #MT01 #MTPOL

Trump on Iran War:

Reporter: What extent are Americans’ financial situation motivating you to make a deal?

Trump: Not even a little bit. I don't think about Americans’ financial situation

It was great to sit down with @mtpublicradio and talk about my campaign and the priorities that I’m focused on.

Our way of life is under attack, and we risk our greatest export becoming the next generation and that is unacceptable.

[Matt Rains for Montana @RainsforMT]

When I talk to folks about what it means to be a Montanan, it is hard to put into words. My family ranch has been here since the 1800s. I was born here, I went to public school here. I was a Montana cadet at West Point and a Montana soldier in my military service. Montana is in my DNA and I plan to give back and fight for this place when I’m in Washington.

As Democrats hope to break through and win Montana's western U.S. House seat, four men are competing for the party's nomination: @ryandbusse, @Cleveland4MT_01, @SamForstag and @RainsforMT. Extended interviews with candidates: https://t.co/W4UvjJQVZp #MTNews #MTPol #MT01

[Matt Rains for Montana @RainsforMT]

Balancing both the ranch and the final stretch of campaign season has been hard but I couldn’t be more grateful for this Montana life I live. That’s why I continue to fight so that we can keep Montana the special place that it is.

We had a new foal born last night and she was struggling with health issues. After numerous vet visits I got back to the barn and my wife Whitney caught this photo. A scary night with very little sleep but back on the road to Bozeman for the @forward_montana forum this evening

"The Trump administration is once again taking the side of big agriculture while leaving farmers behind." — @RainsforMT (#MT01) on RFK Jr. and Trump standing with companies creating glyphosate products.

“The Trump administration is once again taking the side of big agriculture while leaving farmers behind,” said Matt Rains, candidate for Montana’s 1st Congressional District

Offering legal immunity for corporations like Monsanto and Bayer while working farmers suffer the health consequences shows exactly how little this administration values the wellbeing of farmers and ranchers in our communities.

“In a desperate attempt to power-grab, RFK Jr. has backed himself into a corner by playing both sides. MAHA voters are realizing they have been betrayed by RFK Jr." — 314 Action President Shaugnessy Naughton.

DC Republicans are going to do everything they can to keep this seat. More tariffs, more health care cuts and higher gas prices because of reckless foreign wars. We deserve real change #MT01 #MTPOL

Super fun event in Powell County with some really engaged Democrats

Thanks @jmullen2 and others for centering rural Dems and giving candidates like me an opportunity to attend

[Jesse James Mullen @jmullen2]

Thanks to the 130+ who joined us in Deer 🦌 Lodge, broke bread, supported our central committee, and helped us celebrate 5 years as the Powell County Dems.
🍻 Here’s to 50 more!

I first swore an oath to this country when I was 18 years old and I’ve felt a call to service ever since. Trump’s reckless Iran war has put our brave service members in harm’s way and is raising gas prices here at home while working Montanans are struggling just to get by. We can and must stand up to this.

[Matt Rains for Montana @RainsforMT]

Breeding season is starting! It’s a one stop shop here… foaling, ferrier, training, ultra-sounding, breeding. Doing it just like the generations before me on the ranch. Well, the ultra-sounding is an upgrade!

[Matt Rains for Montana @RainsforMT]

Spring is here! Campaigning is its own full-time job with call time, meeting voters and traversing the state but the work on the ranch doesn’t take a pause.

First foal was a middle of the night surprise! 10 days early and was born and up in between 3 hour nightly checks! Such a cutie!

[Matt Rains for Montana @RainsforMT]

Help us flip this district by chipping in what you can so that Montana can have the representation we deserve.

President Trump took us to war with no justification, no plan, and no clear objectives.

I'm a 4th generation rancher, a West Point grad, flew Blackhawk helicopters and served in Iraq. I’m running for Congress because I know firsthand the costs of forever wars.

Check out our new ad airing across the district starting today.

[Matt Rains for Montana @RainsforMT]

This @WSJ report is beyond revealing and deeply troubling. Once again, it is clear that President Trump and this administration have no clear plan or strategy. Servicemembers are in harm’s way and Montanans are paying the price at the pump.
