Williams is by far the better candidate for US House

Not to be too dramatic about it, but Kathleen Williams is the congressional candidate Montana has been waiting for.

Experienced. Knowledgeable. Thoughtful. Measured. Most remarkably, Williams exudes that unique combination of grit and camaraderie that embodies the very best traits of Montanans, and which is an essential trait of any truly great statesman.

Her campaign to be elected Montana’s sole member of the U.S. House has highlighted other important qualities lacking in our current representative. She shows up — in communities large and small across Montana — in person, listens carefully and speaks candidly. Williams would bring a refreshing approach to problem-solving and policy-making to Congress.

U.S. Rep. Greg Gianforte has been Montana’s representative in the House since he won a special election in May 2017. The Missoulian initially endorsed Gianforte for that race, with strong reservations, but was forced to take the unprecedented step of rescinding our endorsement immediately after Gianforte lost his temper and physically attacked a reporter, and then issued statements to police and through his staff that directly contradict his own official admission of guilt.

However, they lost all credibility with me after they endorsed thug Gianforte last year. They also closed the Missoula Independent recently...Missoula’s only Indy newspaper. They’re correct that electing Kathleen Williams to Congress would be a win for Montana. I can only hope Montana is collectively smart enough to follow through.
