Sam Forstag is a Montana smokejumper, union leader, and public servant who has spent his career stepping into difficult situations and protecting the people around him. As a federal wildland firefighter and labor advocate, he has seen how decisions made in Washington affect public lands, local jobs, and the families who keep Montana running. Sam’s experience gives him a practical approach to governing, rooted in service, accountability, and a belief that working people deserve leaders who understand the cost of housing, health care, child care, and earning a living in rural America.
