Great Falls! It was so amazing to meet so many of my neighbors at the Montana State Fair this past week. #mtpol
Alani Bankhead for U.S. Senate (D-MT)

Montana Matters. Terrorist/spy/trafficker hunter. Accountability. Affordability. Protecting the vulnerable. Public lands. Ag. Education
Actions have consequences, and we’re breathing them in all summer long. Be safe this fire season, Montana! #mtpol
Montanans have been told the polls settle this race. They don't, and the numbers being cited say something close to the opposite of how they're being used. #mtpol
"It will be hard to convince people that their welfare is safe in the hands of a federal government when they feel victim of unjust discrimination." - Jeannette Rankin Trust in government isn't something that can be demanded. It has to be earned. #mtpol
Montana deserves a senator who trusts women to make their own decisions, free from government interference. I took an oath to protect Americans, serve with integrity, & be accountable for every decision. I'm ready to serve again. #mtpol
"How do you consolidate support from Democrats when notable Montana Democrats are supporting an independent?" #mtpol Loved this question! My answer isn't about looking backward. It's about what comes next. Credit: Bradley Warren, NonStop Local News Interview: www.youtube.com/watch?v=YYQU...
The people of Missoula remind all of us what democracy looks like. No big budget. No powerful lobbyists. All they had was each other, & the conviction that their community deserved a voice in decisions that would shape its future. #mtpol News Credits: Emily Brown, KPAX-TV Phil Howard, NBC Montana
We've heard you! You asked for more clarity on Alani's data center position, so within a day, we did it: My position has not changed: I do not support large AI data centers coming to Montana. #mtpol (1/4)
Helena! Thank you for welcoming us into your neighborhood to cast vision for the future of Montana. #mtpol
A lifetime of work shouldn’t end in poverty. For too many Montana seniors, Social Security is the difference between stability and struggle. 44% of Montanans 65+ rely on Social Security for at least half their income, and 1 in 6 rely on it for nearly everything. #mtpol
Steve Daines needs to re-read the Constitution. If he doesn't know that Article I, Section 8, Clause 11 gives Congress the power to declare war, not the President, then maybe he shouldn't be handpicking Kurt Alme to run for U.S. Senate. #mtpol Full segment: www.foxbusiness.com/video/640193...
If you were absent from your job and didn't answer to the people who hired you, you would be fired. Public office is a job. Show up and do it. If you ask Montanans to trust you with their vote, you owe them your presence. #mtpol
Accountability means nothing if we refuse to enforce it. Congress has taken one meaningful step by passing the Epstein Files Transparency Act. #mtpol [Left Out Loud Podcast | 6.1.26]
Gather close, friends, because I need everyone to hear this. Whoever is behind the harassment, the doxxing, and the attempts to intimidate people into silence: Stop. Right now. #mtpol
Missoula! Yesterday's meet-up was amazing. These in-person conversations are why I'm running in the first place. Thank you for talking with me about the affordability and accountability issues that you're facing every day. Special thanks to our host Goodworks Ventures!
Montana families shouldn’t have to leave Montana to afford a place to live. Home prices have skyrocketed while wages haven't kept up. Young families are being priced out of the communities they grew up in. Retirees are finding it harder to downsize without facing a tax penalty. #mtpol
Friends, this flat income tax Gianforte is proposing is not the money-saver you think it is. On paper, making everyone pay the same tax rate sounds fair. In reality, it punishes the people who can least afford it. #mtpol
We were in Miles City meeting with folks in-person, and I asked one woman: "What's weighing on you the most? What can federal lawmakers do to help you?" She didn't talk about politics. She talked about a mortgage payment that had gone up by $200. #mtpol Watch: www.youtube.com/watch?v=llO1...
DOGE cuts weren’t about making government work better. They were about cutting blindly, and Montana families could pay the price. #mtpol
Before Montana becomes overrun by AI data centers, the Montana Democratic Party is calling for a two-year pause to make sure families aren’t left paying the price. #mtpol @montanademocrats.org
Everyone should care about the elections this November, but the weight of every Montana election doesn’t rest on your shoulders. Find the races and candidates that matter to you personally, and then let’s get to work! #mtpol
Did you know the Trump administration rewrote the Endangered Species Act to remove habitat destruction from the definition of "harm”? Here’s what that means for Montana... #mtpol
Clean air. Clean water. Healthy forests. These aren't partisan priorities. They're the foundation of Montana's economy, our way of life, and the legacy we leave to the next generation. #mtpol
This November, you have the chance to change the course of our democracy. This election is about far more than one U.S. Senate seat. #mtpol
100 days to make this election count. Make sure your friends and family are registered to vote! #mtpol
Friends in Harlowton: how do we feel about these gas prices? I’ve been campaigning in the area for months, and these seem the highest they’ve been in a while. And if current policies continue, they could climb even higher. #mtpol
#Montana, share this with all your friends. I knocked doors for Tester in his last election. His team sent us to registered Independents in Missoula. Every Indie voter was a NO on Tester. They will be a NO for Bodnar because Tester supports him. Now is not the time for a Montana experiment!
