With just four days until the election, Montana women and firefighters are making clear that they will reject Tim Sheehy at the ballot box. In response to Sheehy calling them “indoctrinated” for caring about their freedoms, more than 1,000 Montana women have signed an open letter demanding Sheehy apologize for his degrading comments. And, after accusing wildland firefighters of “laziness” and “greed,” the union that represents Montana firefighters slammed Sheehy for his disrespectful comments.
Sheehy has repeatedly demeaned and alienated the people he claims to want to represent, and Montanans know that they deserve better. That is why Montanans will reject Sheehy on Tuesday and re-elect Jon Tester – a true champion for Montana values.
