Tell Gianforte to buy a razor, not a House seat

Editor,

Greg Gianforte’s ads and website show him with about a week’s worth of beard growth. My guess is that some big-money-funded focus group showed that voters thought that the week of stubble made Gianforte look more rugged or common. I can just picture the political consultant’s memo: “Go with a week’s growth on your beard, an old camo hat, no tie, and wear a canvas shirt, so you will look like a real Montana working man.”

Greg, you aren’t fooling anyone. We know you are from New Jersey. We know you sold your software company for more than a billion. And we know you are bored and desperate for a new job. Once again, you have decided to try to buy a Montana political office. After spending over $6 million of your own money in a failed attempt to try to buy the governor’s office, how much will you spend on our lone seat in the U.S. House?

We need to tell Gianforte to pry a couple bucks out of his billion dollar wallet to buy a razor, and to find somewhere else to work.

I’m voting for Rob Quist for U.S. House.
