Recently, I had the opportunity to hear Sam Forstag in person deliver his message about how he is dedicated to the working people of Montana and believes that every Montanan should be able to work a job that pays well enough to afford housing, healthcare, childcare, and a good retirement.
Sam got my attention the minute he said the word “afford.” With gas prices in Montana up by more than 57% since February 2026, and average grocery prices up by about 3.4% since August 2026 (Source: Consumer Price Index), affordability is driving my vote for Sam. Plus Sam is committed to protecting Social Security. And as a retiree, I trust Sam to fight for me.
As we enter the mid-term elections, I can’t help but think about the popular definition of insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. If we continue to vote for Republicans, like Aaron Flint, the insanity will continue because Flint will NOT stand up to Trump and will simply rubber stamp his insane agenda.
VOTE FOR SAM FORSTAG, and he’ll be YOUR voice in Washington and get us back to policies that are good for working families instead of billionaires.

Don’t vote for this Sam guy. Montana deserves more honesty that Sam has.

I and more than 100 other Bitterrooters attended a gathering in Hamilton last night where Sam was the guest of honor. He is an inspiring candidate that Montana needs to be a voice for the hard-working middle class that helps make this great state greater.
Please vote for Sam Forstag.
