Steve Bullock Campaign Statement on 100 Days to Iowa Caucus

Steve Bullock Campaign Statement on 100 Days to Iowa Caucus

Des Moines, IA – With 100 days left until Iowans are the first voters to express their preference at caucuses, Bullock for President Iowa State Director Megan Simpson released the following statement:

“We're just 100 days from when Iowa caucus-goers will reshape this election. For caucus-goers tired of the same-old Washington games, the choice is clear: Montana Governor Steve Bullock will beat Trump and get our country back on track,” said Bullock for President Iowa State Director Megan Simpson.

Simpson continued, “Throughout 14 campaign trips to Iowa in just over five months, Governor Bullock has proven himself as the red-state progressive who connects with Iowans. With a statewide network of seasoned activists and an organizing infrastructure to match, our campaign is ramping up to win in the final 100 days as more Iowans see that Governor Bullock is the candidate who will beat Donald Trump and deliver results on Day One.”

Steve Bullock Statement on Tonight’s Democratic Debate

Governor Steve Bullock Statement on Tonight’s Democratic Debate

Helena, MT – After another marathon Democratic debate more focused on landing viral soundbites than offering solutions to problems voters face every day, Montana Governor Steve Bullock released the following statement:

“Six debates in and the Democratic Party is still failing to speak to the challenges middle class families face every day. When 40% of Americans wouldn’t have $400 to spare in the event of an emergency, we need to be talking about serious solutions that will make people’s lives better in the here and now — not a decade down the line, and not after a hypothetical political revolution,” said Montana Governor Steve Bullock. “Voters are looking for a leader who isn’t detached from the realities that they face — and with 111 days left until the Iowa Caucus, I’m going to continue taking my case directly to them.”

Steve Bullock Announces Four New Iowa Endorsements

Governor Steve Bullock Announces Four New Iowa Endorsements

Democratic Leaders Call Governor Bullock the Leader to Safeguard Democracy, Fight for Rural Iowa

Des Moines, IA – Today, Montana Governor Steve Bullock announced four new endorsements from Democratic leaders across Iowa:

Woodbury County Supervisor Marty Pottebaum Clinton County Auditor Eric Van Lancker Former Iowa Senate Assistant Majority Leader Staci Appel Former Warren County Democratic Party Chair Don Ruby

The new endorsements bring the number of Iowa Democratic leaders who have endorsed Governor Bullock for President to 16 – spanning local government, education, agriculture, and community activism. They're backing Bullock’s campaign because he’s the proven leader who can beat Donald Trump, repair our broken politics, and ensure every Iowan gets a fair shot at success.

“I’m so pleased to stand with these great Democratic leaders as we grow our campaign in communities from river to river,” said Montana Governor Steve Bullock. “This election is about more than beating Donald Trump. It’s about finally fixing our broken politics and ensuring every American gets a fair shot at success.”

Marty Pottebaum, Woodbury County Supervisor

“Governor Steve Bullock is proof that our politics doesn’t have to be as broken as it seems. He’s governed a red state while passing major progressive victories; and he’s won elections in the same places we need to win in 2020. Steve can not only win the Iowa Caucus, he can help turn Iowa blue and elect talented Democrats up and down the ballot. That’s the kind of leadership our party needs to defeat Donald Trump and get our country back on track.”

Eric Van Lancker, Clinton County Auditor

“If Democrats are going to win back the White House and other places we’ve lost, there is no candidate better than Montana Governor Steve Bullock. In a state as red as Montana, he’s brought Democrats and Republicans together to safeguard our democratic rights, clean up our campaign finance system, and ensure that a fair shot at success is not a privilege for the few, but a right for everyone.”

Staci Appel, former Iowa Senate Assistant Majority Leader representing Warren County

“Donald Trump has put the foundation of our country at stake, and our Democratic nominee must have the strength of character to put our nation back on track. That’s why I’m proud to endorse Steve Bullock. After listening to all of the candidates, Steve stood far and above the rest as a clear leader to protect and defend the integrity of our democracy. I look forward to sharing that vision over the next four months as we head into the Caucus.”

Don Ruby, former Warren County Democratic Party Chair

“I’m endorsing Governor Steve Bullock because he’s proven he can make our progressive goals a reality. Communities are bearing the brunt of inaction from Washington, with special interests pouring money into our politics to halt progress even before it begins. As a Governor who knows how to get things done, Steve will bring about the systemic change we need — not years down the line, but right now.”

Governor Steve Bullock Statement on Impeachment Proceedings

Governor Steve Bullock Statement on Impeachment Proceedings

Helena, MT — After House Democrats announced that they would begin formal impeachment proceedings against President Trump, Montana Governor Steve Bullock released the following statement:

"If the President of the United States used the power of his office to extort a foreign leader into investigating a political opponent, Congress has a responsibility to get answers," said Montana Governor Steve Bullock. "If the President abused his office and jeopardized American national security for his own personal gain, then the House needs to impeach him. At some point, this is bigger than Donald Trump — this is about a 243-year experiment called representative Democracy."
