Political elites are crushing the American Dream. Montanans are an independent people, and we deserve an independent voice in Washington fighting to lower costs and protect our values. I'm running for Senate to take our government back.

Our research shows that 100% of Americans can agree on one thing: @USAHockey Women’s National Team is 🔥!!! In the interest of unity, we will be OOO during game hours. If you need our Out of Office schedule, check theirs: teamusa.usahockey.com/2026olympicwom… #TeamUSA #WinterOlympics

The @Independent_Cen has some thoughts about #gerrymandering. Check out Brett and Lura’s take (spoiler: the parties aren’t actually benefiting…) realclearpolitics.com/articles/2025/…

“A new nationwide survey from the @Independent_Cen shows a seismic generational shift in political identity, with younger Americans increasingly rejecting the traditional two-party system and demanding new choices, new leadership, and lasting solutions.”

Growing Generational Gap is turning politics upside down. The results will surprise you! The latest Independent Center’s nationwide survey, The Growing Generation Gap, finds younger voters driving a dramatic shift toward political independence and reform, while older generations remain anchored in the two-party system, but when it comes to offering more choices at the ballot box… Read on: independentcenter.org/poll-toplines/…

What if we fired the parties? “A recent Washington Post article highlighted the work of The Independent Center, an organization focused on electing a small number of centrist/independent candidates into Congress. If successful, the organization projects that this would completely remove the opportunity to legislate by a majority from either party, mandating collaboration across party lines, and focusing on issues of importance to their constituents.” This isn’t just an idea—it’s already happening. 📖 Read the piece in The Fulcrum: thefulcrum.us/bipartisanship… 📖 And the original coverage in The Washington Post: washingtonpost.com/politics/2025/… #DeclareYourIndependence #IndependentVoters #BreakTheGridlock #ReformCongress

Brett Loyd, of The Bullfinch Group: “Independents are independent-minded thinkers—they don't have to approve of Trump just because he's Team Red, or disapprove of him because they're Team Blue. They'll give you a chance, but you gotta perform.” newsweek.com/donald-trump-a…

Why did pollsters like me blow the election? We failed to account for #independents. Opinion in @nypost. thebullfinchgroup.com/post/nypost-op…

This #midwestern #pollster may have a point; why are we focusing on some #senate races and not others? thebullfinchgroup.com/post/cripes-po…

📊NEW POLL: 2/3 of Americans prefer candidates who focus on immigration solutions rather than employ negative rhetoric. “Most Americans know we need tangible solutions that strengthen our country. They are not interested in fearmongering." -@JennieMurrayK bit.ly/3XAG3Ul

REMINDER: “Voteshare is not the probability of an event happening. If I say ‘what’s the probability of X candidate winning a state?’ the probability isn’t 47-45; that’s voteshare. So this isn’t saying ‘well he’s got 47% so he’s for certain going to win.’” #2024Election #polling
