And we have to make sure that there are protections for our communities and our families. When Elon Musk tried to gut the Forest Service and the public land agencies that kept this state running, Ryan Zinke didn't stand up for Montanans, but Sam did. As vice president of his union, local NFFE, local 60, we got some members in the house. Sam made sure Montanans knew exactly what was at stake. (11:49–12:05)
