Montana Democratic Party (MDP) officials nominated Amanda Curtis, a teacher and state legislator from Butte, to be the replacement Democratic nominee in this year's U.S. Senate race in Montana.
Unlike what Republicans and the mainstream media are saying about her, she's far more than some woman with a nose piercing.
As a state legislator, Curtis has opposed the proliferation of guns in Montana schools, has supported increased funding for Montana schools, has opposed efforts to privatize public education in Montana, and has supported voters' rights and stricter campaign finance laws. Sure, she might have a few non-progressive positions (after all, she's running in a statewide race in Montana), but she's supported many progressive causes.
Amanda Curtis would make a good U.S. Senator for Montana, and I encourage Montanans to vote for her on November 4.
