I participated in two county forums thus far, I felt both were very cordial. I am in the Great Falls area campaigning for the weekend of the Russell Art Auction. I am very happy to be here among family and friends. The campaign for this U.S. House seat in this election year is a very high interest race; it only happens once every 12 years, where this race is at the top of the ticket.
This year is very historic in terms of the social agenda of a new administration. Jobs are a high priority and will remain the highest priority for my campaign. To reiterate my sentiments on the campaign trail: I support the Employee Free Choice Act and I believe the card check bill would have done great things for the average person to advance in their employment and unionize their workplace.
I support the passage of the recent 18B jobs bill, however, I believe more needs to be done. I support the 155B jobs bill passed by the House last December and hope the Senate will move forward with the same commitment to address the high unemployment of our citizens.
