DNC Congratulates Sam Forstag on His Victory in the Democratic Primary for Montana’s 1st Congressional District Arrow

The DNC congratulates Sam Forstag on tonight's victory in the Democratic primary for Montana's 1st Congressional District - a race that has shifted towards Democrats and will help flip the House of Representatives in November. Voters throughout Montana turned out to back candidates like Forstag who are focused on lowering costs, protecting healthcare, fighting for rural communities, and delivering for working families.

In response to Sam Forstag's victory, DNC Chair Ken Martin released the following statement:

"Voters in western Montana have had enough of Republicans' dangerous healthcare cuts, harmful price hikes, and reckless tariffs that are hammering rural communities. While the state's Republican candidates raced to claim the most extreme positions, Sam showed up everywhere throughout this district, organized on the ground, took on special interests, and prioritized the concerns of working families. As a smokejumper and local union leader, he will focus on making life more affordable for everyone. The DNC is ready to help him flip this seat from red to blue, take back the House, and deliver for communities across Montana."
