Libby man prefers Flint over Forstag

Every fall, my family fills our freezer with what we hunt. So on November 3, I’m voting for Aaron Flint, the candidate who will protect our right to keep our tradition alive.

Aaron, a fifth-generation Montanan and combat veteran, earned the NRA’s top rating and the endorsement of Gun Owners of America and the MT Shooting Sports Association. He didn’t hedge or dodge. Aaron told gun owners and hunters exactly where he stands.

Sam Forstag took a different path. When the NRA sent him its candidate questionnaire, he didn’t even fill it out. Not to mention, the Gun Owners of America gave him an F.

For a candidate who calls himself a gun-rights champion, that’s an odd way to prove it.

It’s also important to look at the company Forstag keeps. He has Bernie Sanders and AOC’s endorsement Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, two national figures who have spent years pushing sweeping gun control. Those aren’t Montana values, and they sure aren’t hunting-camp values.

Montana hunters and gun owners need a congressman who will stand up for them in Washington without being asked twice. Aaron Flint is that man.
