Ocasio-Cortez Backs Forstag in Montana

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez made a fiery return to Montana, rallying behind smokejumper-turned-candidate Sam Forstag in a high-stakes Democratic primary showdown. With union leaders and flight attendant icon Sara Nelson amplifying the message of worker power, Ocasio-Cortez slammed Montana’s affordability crisis and demanded universal healthcare — even calling out how teachers and nurses can’t afford to live where they work. Forstag, backed by the Montana Plan, countered with a call for wealth taxes and childcare reform, sharing heart-wrenching stories of union members losing jobs — including one battling cancer — while blasting incumbent Ryan Zinke for ignoring their pain. With Election Day just two days away, this isn’t just a campaign — it’s a movement demanding dignity, equity, and real change for working families.
