Two days after a surprisingly strong showing in a Georgia special election, congressional Democrats are adding a new race to their list of priorities, a contest in Montana that pits local musical legend Rob Quist against businessman and creationist Greg Gianforte. The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee is making an initial six-figure investment into the Montana state party to back Quist’s campaign, DCCC spokesperson Meredith Kelly told The Huffington Post. It will be left to the state party and the campaign to decide how best to use the funds, whether on mail, television or door-knocking operations. The spending is in the low six-figures, but is unlikely to be the last cash infusion from the national party as attention increasingly turns to the state’s race.

It’s good that the DCCC isn’t going to micro-manage these funds.
