Ask yourself before you vote a straight ticket: will Greg Gianforte represent my Montana values? Would he come to my aid before his own? Does he have the character of a man my children should emulate?Likewise, ask yourself will Mike Cooney represent my Montana values? Would he come to my aid before his own? Does he have the character of a man my children should emulate?  Ask yourself before voting a straight ticket promoted by MT GOP: Did the MT GOP ensure it endorsed candidates who represent my Montana values and the Republican platform? Or are they no longer a credible voting resource? If 2, #voteforMT first.
