One of the most exciting unionists running in 2026. Imagine the migratory birds in MT01!
I’m Sam Forstag - I’m a smokejumper, a union leader, and I’m running for Congress because for too long, Montanans have been breaking their backs just to fall further behind. Together, we can build an economy that works for working people.

Worth keeping an eye on.
