There’s been relatively little news here lately about the congressional race. I expect it to ramp up soon...I believe fundraising reports are due this month. Dems have quite a few good candidates running. I’m a Whitney Williams fan for the moment...she is daughter of former congressman Pat Williams. I would be happy to support former Lt Governor, Mike Cooney or Tom Winter. Actually any Dem running will get my enthusiastic support...unfortunately, I fear this election is Greg Gianforte’s to lose at this point. That thug incumbent has money to burn and, at the end of the day, MT is a big red state.

in will go back to one................the ranchers and farmers have been hit hard by the traitor and his enablers in the right wing cabal, and Gianforte is one of the main culprits of the decriminalization that we have seen in Congress, he did absolutely nothing when they had power for over two years, and now they are whining that there is no due process in the impeachment.................he is disgrace, he helped with the enabling of treason........................it is that simple.......................and then he tries to blame democrats.................he has no spine to admit that he and his party is kompromat, ....................there are member in his "republican" party that have taken Russian money.................that is fact....................he is in my opinion a traitor to the Rule of law................and the Constitution.....................he is a Montana transplant.............it took him 1:38 seconds to show his treason.............................

...and it’ll take more than an endorsement from a group no voter has heard of to change that.

political pulse because I was born, raised and have family there, although I haven't resided in MT since 1980.

This is the first I have heard about Tom Winter.

Here are the declared Democratic candidates so far for the MT 2020 primary race for the US House of Representatives. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_United_States_House_of_Representatives_election_in_Montana#Democratic_primary

Of the three declared candidates, however, I am a personal fan of Kathleen Williams. https://kathleenformontana.com/

But I will financially support ANY Dem who gets the nomination.

than the progressive achievements of the other Democrats running, and he's more electable, why isn't the DCCC backing him as our most promising choice?

Seriously, that they're specifically not makes him sound questionable to me. After all, the DCCC is ALL about getting Democrats who can win election into office; and although they do vet for adequate character and lack of criminal records and scandals, they mostly believe filling those seats with progressive Democrats require respecting what local voters want in the way of ideology and goals. Since we're the progressive party, believing in progressive solutions is an asset, not a problem. Even our blue dogs are almost all progressive conservatives.

So, what gives? Maybe research a little deeper into this guy. I promise there will be reason. Those people work themselves to exhaustion for years to give us our best chance at majorities so we can get things done. Maybe someone else has more support and a better ground game. They can't back everyone they'd like to.
