STEVENSVILLE — Democratic candidates for various offices held a rally in Ravalli County on Sunday, emphasizing the importance of getting out to vote and the role that volunteers play in the campaign.
Numerous candidates, including those running for governor, U.S. Senate and the U.S. House of Representatives, attended the event ahead of the Nov. 5, 2024, election.
All of the candidates talked about the importance of the volunteer work being done by Democrats in Ravalli County, mainly their efforts in door-knocking.
Incumbent Democratic U.S. Senator Jon Tester stated that his final message to voters is to get out and vote for a candidate that aligns with what he dubs Montana values.
“There’s great energy on the ground, if you want to elect someone that knows Montana, that will fight for Montana, that’ll make sure we got health care and access to our public lands and make sure a woman has the right to choose, to make sure our schools are top flight, you gotta vote for the guy who knows it,” said Tester.
Montana's U.S. Senate race is being watched closely by the rest of the country as the outcome may decide which party controls the Senate.
The race is one of the most expensive in the country with the group Open Secrets reporting $160 million have been spent so far.
