National Environmental Groups Endorse Busse for MT-01

WASHINGTON — Friends of the Earth Action and the Center for Biological Diversity Action Fund are endorsing Ryan Busse for Montana’s 1st Congressional District as early voting begins for the Democratic primary.  

A passionate outdoorsman, Busse and his wife raised their two boys hunting, fishing, and exploring Montana’s public lands. Busse is a former firearms executive who left the industry fearing irresponsible political extremism, and he now works to end gun violence.  

Busse is a respected state and national conservation leader who understands the vital importance of public lands, clean air and water, and keeping Montana affordable.  

As a member of Congress, Busse will fight for Montana, its people, and its land.  

Erich Pica, President, Friends of the Earth Action, said: “Ryan Busse is an outdoorsman who got into politics to protect Montana’s wild places. He will fight for our country’s bedrock environmental laws. He will stand up to the corporations and billionaires seeking to destroy our public lands. And he will hold polluters accountable. We are proud to support Ryan Busse, and we encourage voters in Montana’s 1^st Congressional District to stand with him.

Kristine Akland, Montana political director with the Center for Biological Diversity Action Fund, said: “Ryan Busse will be a champion for public lands and protector of wild places. Ryan Busse is needed in Congress to stand up to industry polluters and stand up for clean water, flourishing wildlife and healthy public lands. Bringing his clear convictions to Congress will be a win for Montana and our country’s natural heritage.”
