One of the more poignant came in the deeply red state of Montana, where Wilmot Collins, a black refugee from Liberia, was elected mayor of the state’s capitol of Helena. Collins ran as a progressive, and the local victory represented a stinging rebuke to Trump’s hateful anti-immigrant and anti-refugee message of fear that he’s been desperately trying to fan this year.

Collins, a progressive who unseated a 16-year incumbent, also became the first black mayor in Montana history. Twelve months ago, Trump easily won Lewis and Clark County, the home of Helena, while sweeping the state by 21 points against Hillary Clinton.

Collins arrived in Helena 23 years ago as a refugee from Liberia, fleeing a civil war. He and his wife fled the country, “starving, dehydrated and sick.”

Since arriving in America, the 54-year-old Naval reservist became a child protection specialist with the Montana Department of Health and Human Services. He and his wife have a daughter in the Navy and a son at the University of Montana.
