Help a terrific Democratic candidate in the beautiful Bitterroot Valley of Montana!

Hello, DU family, and especially DU Montana folks! I am working with a small but scrappy group of dedicated Dems here in the beautiful Bitterroot Valley of western Montana to help our Democratic candidate, Evan Schroedel, defeat the Republican currently holding the Montana State House District 88 seat (Florence and Stevensville, MT).

We would appreciate it enormously if you could pitch in to help Evan’s campaign. Here is Evan’s ActBlue link: https://secure.actblue.com/donate/hd88-1?refcode=directory. You can also contribute on his website at: https://www.evanschroedel.com/. Evan is on Facebook, too, at: https://www.facebook.com/evanschroedelforhd88/.

Evan is a fifth-generation Montanan, an Army veteran, a retired railroad engineer and union representative, and just an all-around decent, caring, intelligent, and down-to-earth guy. Above all, Evan is running for the right reason: to improve the lives of ordinary Montanans by tackling the crucial problems we Montanans face, such as the skyrocketing cost of living in this gorgeous state, which is being driven largely by all the super-wealthy out-of-staters moving here and buying up vast amounts of Montana land. “The Last Best Place” is turning into a playground for the super rich.

Speaking of out-of-staters, Evan’s opponent, Republican attorney Greg Overstreet, is a “blue-state refugee” from Washington State. Overstreet’s highest legislative achievement thus far has been to make rodeo the state sport of Montana.

Nothing against the rodeo, but we have much bigger fish to fry than naming the state sport, for example, our current battle against U.S. Critical Materials (a Canadian company) that is ramrodding through a mine at the headwaters of the Bitterroot River, which is the lifeblood of the Bitterroot Valley.

Plus, weirdly enough, Overstreet has a secret identity: As survivalist “Glen Tate,” Overstreet authored a dystopian, antigovernment, ten-book series called 299 Days. Overstreet, under the name “Glen Tate,” also hosts a survivalist podcast called “Prepping 2.0.”

Call us crazy, but we Montana Dems like people in government who are not antigovernment survivalists preparing for the end times and who conceal their true nature and extreme beliefs from voters by using an assumed name.

If you feel the same way, I hope you can pitch in to help us get Evan Schroedel elected to MT House District 88. Thank you so much in advance!
