Please watch my introduction video. If you are with me and want to help fight for the people, consider supporting my campaign.
I'm John Heenan. I am a husband, father, small business owner, and consumer protection lawyer. I've never run for political office—not even student council.
In May, we had a special election to seat a new representative. On the eve of the election, our representative attacked a reporter and was charged with criminal assault. The day after he assaulted the reporter was his biggest fundraising day. He initially blamed the reporter for instigating the fight, which was later exposed as false. Nevertheless, he was elected into office.
Even after being elected, Gianforte continued to fight the judge's order that he be fingerprinted and booked like any other criminal. As the wealthiest member of Congress, he intends to use his money to keep his power, criminal conviction notwithstanding.
My job as a consumer protection lawyer is to help ordinary Montanans stand up to bullies. As an outsider to politics, I decided that someone needed to stand up for Montanans and help restore commonsense and Montana values to this seat.
As the race has developed, so have my reasons for running. The status quo is not working. The rich and the powerful have plenty of representation in Washington. Working Montanans deserve a representative who will actually listen and represent them.
“For the people” will be my guiding principle when I’m elected to Congress. I will work tirelessly to end corporate dark money corruption in politics, support affordable healthcare for all, create a just and fair economic system, and protect Montana’s public lands and heritage.
I know that it might seem early to run a video that defines me and my candidacy, but Gianforte has already gone negative, attacking me and telling people lies about me. I want Montanans to know the truth about me and what I stand for.
I’m John Heenan and I will be a voice for the people of Montana. I look forward to earning your support and working together to retake our democracy, one vote at a time.
