Friends,
Isn't it a great time to be a Democrat in Montana?
On Saturday night Democrats from every corner of Big Sky Country were able to watch the most exciting leaders that this country has seen in generations at our annual Mansfield-Metcalf Dinner. I haven't seen folks this excited and engaged about an election since I worked for Bobby Kennedy forty years ago.
As Democrats we need to keep this enthusiasm going and make sure it conveys to wins in November. With hard work we will re-elect Max Baucus to a sixth term in the Senate, give Brian Schweitzer four more well-deserved years, reclaim the seat in the House of Representatives once held by Pat Williams, and win races up and down the ballot from Wibaux to Wisdom and from Ekalaka to Eureka.
But we will need to turn our excitement into action. Over the next eight months we must work together to keep our momentum growing. Please visit our website to get involved and help Democrats win locally.
On Saturday night, and over the past couple of months, a lot of folks have asked me about my status as a so-called 'super-delegate.' It is my strong opinion that my vote should count no different than my neighbors in Melville or any other Montanans. I will not make a decision on how I will vote this summer at the National Convention until the Montana primary in June--when the majority of our delegates will be awarded.
I want to extend my sincere thanks to everyone that made this year's Mansfield-Metcalf Dinner such a success. Volunteers from all over Montana--especially those in Butte and Helena--put in long hours and deserve a pat on the back. Thank you to everyone in Butte-Silver Bow for playing such a great host, Senator Mansfield is surely looking down at his hometown and smiling.
I also want to thank our friends in organized labor for supporting Mansfield-Metcalf from day one; Democrats have no better friends than you.
And most importantly, thank you to all Montanans. Butte, Montana was the center of the world on Saturday night and anyone that followed the news this weekend now knows why Montana is the Last Best Place.
Thanks,
Dennis
