Washington — Today, the Congressional Progressive Caucus PAC (CPC PAC) congratulated Sam Forstag on winning the Democratic nomination for Montana’s 1st Congressional District.
“We could not be more excited to congratulate smokejumper and union leader Sam Forstag on his victory in the Democratic primary for Montana’s 1st Congressional District,” said CPC PAC Co-Chairs Pramila Jayapal, Greg Casar and Maxwell Frost. “Sam is a working-class candidate whose campaign focused on reaching out to people who have felt left behind by both parties by focusing on working-class values and fixing big problems that directly impact people’s lives, such as housing, childcare and health care. We look forward to supporting Sam in the general election, flipping this red seat blue and sending a champion for everyday Montanans to Congress.”
Over the past three election cycles, the CPC PAC has raised over $13 million and invested in progressive candidates across the country. Over the decade, a majority of CPC PAC’s pre-primary endorsements have gone on to win their race in the general election. In 2024, the CPC was the only ideological caucus to send new members to Congress in 50% or more of races in which its affiliated PAC made a pre-primary endorsement.
