Bob is running against a Republican incumbent and is one of our best chances to derail a rightwing leader in Montana. Bob is an extremely hard-worker who is running for the right reasons.

Jon Tester wowed the pundits with his huge primary victory. Now he's bringing the fight to Conrad Burns. The man's got seven fingers, so lend him a hand.

Joe is highway patrolman and, as an avid sportsman, is a leader in the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation. This is one of our best pickup opportunities in the Senate.

This is a rematch. Eileen lost by 49 votes in 2004, but with your help, she can do it this year. She is absolutely one of the hardest working campaigners in the state.

Paul lost this seat by less than 200 votes in the last two elections. This year, the incumbent is termed out, and with Paul’s strong grassroots campaign, we think this is the year he can do it.
