Senator Catherine Cortez Masto, Chair of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, issued the following statement congratulating Governor Steve Bullock on advancing to the general election in Montana:
“Montanans are ready for a Senator like Steve Bullock who has guided Montana through tough times, brought people together to get results, and always done what’s right for his state. Governor Bullock has been a strong and steady public servant who has worked hard to earn the trust of Montanans from every corner of the state. In the Senate, Steve Bullock will stand up to the special interests, tackle the corruption and dysfunction in Washington, expand access to high-quality affordable health care, and protect Montana’s public lands and way of life. Governor Bullock’s proven record of leadership, his deep support across Montana, and the growing grassroots momentum behind his campaign show exactly why he’s going to win this race.”
Governor Steve Bullock put Montana on the Senate map and major nonpartisan election analysts agree this has quickly become one of this cycle’s most competitive Senate races. Bullock has so far consistently outraised Senator Steve Daines: he raised $1.2 million in the first 24 hours of his campaign, and most recently outraised Daines two to one in the pre-primary fundraising period. As a popular two-term Governor and former Attorney General, Bullock has won three statewide elections while building a record of working across party lines to deliver real results — from growing Montana’s economy and expanding health care coverage, to championing campaign finance reform and protecting public lands.
