Senator Daines is reportedly more responsive to calls and letters from certain parts of our state than others, say for example, Missoula which is very blue. I am hearing that he has locked down his offices phones of late and you can't even get a human to answer. There may be some truth to that rumor because I have written and called at least 5 times since January 21st and I have not gotten one follow up email or letter from Daines. Senator Tester (D) on the other hand has emailed AND written a letter each time I've called him. Daines knows that most of us in Missoula didn't vote for him. We're apparently easy to ignore. Wrong!
