| Sanders to Campaign in Montana’s Special Election for Quist |
| 2017-05-13 |
| [FREEBEACON] Sen. Bernie Sanders ...The only openly Socialist member of the U.S. Senate. Sanders was Representative-for-Life from Vermont until moving to the Senate for the rest of his life in 2006, assuming the seat vacated by Jim Jeffords... (I., Vt.) will join Democratic congressional candidate Rob Quist on the campaign trail in Montana. Sanders, who endorsed Quist last month, will join him for four rallies on May 20 and 21, the Hill reported Friday. Quist released a statement announcing his upcoming campaign travel with Sanders. "I'm excited to have Bernie Sanders come to Big Sky Country to witness the grassroots support behind our campaign and share the message that we need more elected leaders fighting for working class families, instead of millionaires, corporations, and special interests," Quist said. The special election is on May 25 and will determine who will fill the House seat vacated by Ryan Zinke to become secretary of the interior. Quist will face off against Republican candidate Greg Gianforte. Quist has an interesting track record, from recommending that climate change skeptics commit suicide to having played music at nudist resorts with his daughter. |
