Aaron Flint stopped by the Red Quill trailer on Vendors Row at the Northwest Montana Fair & Rodeo in Kalispell — twenty minutes in the chair before he headed over to the GOP booth and the rodeo.

We got into timber, and what a gutted industry has to do with your property tax bill. Trades education, and why he thinks it's the fastest win available in Washington. Where he'd draw the line on data centers. And what Libby, Montana tells you about all of it — 3,000 kids in those schools once, a thousand now.

The line that stuck with us: "These trades jobs are the jobs that China can't steal and AI can't replace."

Red Quill doesn't endorse. Every candidate in Montana's First District has an open invitation to sit down in this same chair. And full disclosure — our host John is on a ballot himself this year, so we'll say that out loud here too.
