Smokejumper. Union leader. Running for Congress in MT-01 to build an economy that works for working people.

I’m Sam Forstag - I’m a smokejumper, a union leader, and I’m running for Congress because for too long, Montanans have been breaking their backs just to fall further behind. Together, we can build an economy that works for working people.

@SamForstag goes on offense on Social Security at our press conference this morning!!!

ONLY Sam has a plan to
protect & expand the program, so his privatizer opponent Aaron Flint, should never bring it up!

[Jon “Bowzer” Bauman @JonBowzerBauman]

A campaign is only as good as its activists. Wow, did they turn out on the courthouse steps in Missoula for @SamForstag!!! Here we all are getting ready for our press conference to begin. Every senior issues advocacy org that endorses endorsed Sam, including my @SSW PAC!!!

Montana has more veterans per capita than almost any other state. I’ll always fight to make sure we are honoring those of you who have served this country–and I’ll keep showing up to listen and learn from you about how I can best represent your needs in Congress.

[Sam Forstag @SamForstag]

Last night, I sat down with veterans and listened to their stories about how difficult it’s become to access healthcare, about the threats to their pension packages, and about the anger so many feel at seeing the ways our Constitution has been violated.

[Sam Forstag @SamForstag]

But right now, our leaders are failing to uphold that sacred commitment. From devastating cuts at the VA, to chronic underinvestment in critical services, to starting another horrific war in the Middle East, those in power aren’t protecting those we’ve asked to serve.

[Sam Forstag @SamForstag]

In Congress, I’ll do the same. The billionaires and their political puppets are doing everything they can to keep working people divided–but this year, that isn’t gonna work. Make a plan to vote, and let’s elect a working person to Congress so we can fight for ourselves!

[Sam Forstag @SamForstag]

There’s no shortage of bootlickers in Congress, but there are far too few people who know what it means to lace up your boots and get to work.

[Sam Forstag @SamForstag]

I fought to pass laws making sure that Montana kids facing time behind bars aren’t saddled with debt when they leave. I fought to protect our constitutional freedoms from the politicians who would rather fight a culture war than improve working peoples’ lives.

At our event to honor firefighters a couple weeks ago, I had the privilege of chatting with @RollingStone about the importance of sending working people to Congress. Give it a read!

Maybe somebody should tell Aaron and the ultra-rich executives bankrolling his campaign to stop wasting their money. Because Montanans are ready for a congressman who works for them, not corporate donors and party bosses. Together, we’re gonna build the Montana we deserve.

[Sam Forstag @SamForstag]

Aaron Flint might not have any dirt underneath his fingernails, but his hands sure as hell ain’t clean: he and his corporate donors have spent millions and millions of dollars trying to spread ridiculous lies across the airwaves.

[Sam Forstag @SamForstag]

Politicians like Aaron Flint pushing to sell off our public lands, so that he and his corporate donors can profit.

I’m Sam Forstag. I approve this message because my line is simple: no corporate money, no stock trading, no corruption.

The fire stops here.

[Sam Forstag @SamForstag]

NEW AD:

This is a fireline. Dig it well, and the fire stops.

As a smokejumper, I’ve dug plenty of these lines. But there’s a fire in this country as bad as they come.

It is greed, burning out of control.
