Democrats! Congressional Candidate Forum in Billings on 2/1
I saw this posted in another forum, thought I would bring it here.
That carpet-bagging snake Gianforte will be running for the Repukes, so we need a STRONG candidate. Let's not forget, over 10,000 people showed up for the women's march in Helena! We are motivated! Let's do this thing!
BILLINGS, Jan. 25, 2017 – Montana State University Billings (MSU-B) student-led Democratic organization invites students and members of the general public to meet the potential Democratic candidates to replace Representative Ryan Zinke. The public forum event will take place on Wednesday, Feb. 1, 2017 at 6:00 p.m. at MSU-B in Library Room 148.
Potential candidates who have agreed to participate at this time are:
Rep. Amanda Curtis
Rep. Kelly McCarthy
Mr. John Meyer
Rep. Casey Schreiner(Editor’s note, no longer seeking office)
Mr. Rob Quist
**Candidates are listed in alphabetical order by last name.
MSU-B College Democrats President said, “This spring Montanans will have a special opportunity to elect a new representative to serve as the sole voice of Montana in the U.S. House of Representatives. This makes it extremely important that we as Montanan’s select an individual who will put the interests of Montanans first every time they have the chance. Having an informed electorate will ensure that the right person is selected to be our voice in D.C. Effectively informing the public is the purpose of this event and what makes it such a flagship event not just for Billings but for all of Montana.”
The forum will be moderated and led by MSU Billings students and MSU Billings College Democrats President Cody McCracken and Vice President Amelia D. Marquez. The candidates are only allowed to appear on live video through Skype.
