Bullock Campaign Press Release - Governor Bullock: I'm The Only Candidate to Have Won and Governed a Trump State
Montana Governor Steve Bullock is the only candidate to have actually won and governed a Trump state.
In 2016, Donald Trump won Montana by 20 points. In the same election, Governor Bullock was re-elected by 4 points. He's worked with majority Republican legislatures to get progressive things done — like expanding Medicaid to 100,000 people, making record investments in public education, and passing some of the most progressive dark money laws in the country.
Governor Bullock is a progressive who has proven that he can win the places Democrats have lost and make government work again.
Governor Bullock's Progressive Accomplishments in a Trump State:
- Passed Medicaid expansion through a nearly two-thirds Republican legislature, bringing health coverage to nearly 100,000 Montanans.
- Made record investments in public education and froze college tuition for 6 out of 8 years in office, helping Montana to have the fourth lowest in-state tuition and fees in the nation.
- Signed an executive order requiring every business that bids on public contracts to disclose their political spending.
- Passed one of the most progressive campaign finance disclosure laws in the country, setting a national standard for clean and fair elections.
- Stopped every attack on a woman's right to make her own healthcare decisions.
Opposed or vetoed every attempt to make Montana a right-to-work state.
