62. This jerk, Daines, ran against my college friend, Kim Gillan,

Sat Feb 11, 2017, 08:13 PM

Feb 2017

for the open US Representative seat in Montana in 2012 and won. Kim was a really well known and liked Montana State Senator (Dem) from 2004-2012
and in the Montana House of Representatives from 1996-2004.

So, Daines has some history with female political opposition. It's a real shame Kim didn't win the House seat. She would have been dynamite.
