NRCC Statement on Aaron Flint Winning MT-01 Debate

October 13, 2026

The National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) issued the following statement on Aaron Flint’s decisive debate victory in MT-01 Congressional District debate against Socialist Sam Forstag:

“Socialist lobbyist Sam Forstag was exposed as a mouthpiece for Bernie Sanders and AOC’s socialist agenda that would jack up costs, crush Montana jobs, and put Washington bureaucrats in charge of Montanans’ lives. Aaron Flint is an Army veteran fighting to lower costs, strengthen Montana’s mining and timber industries, and protect good-paying jobs. Forstag can slap a Montana label on his socialist garbage, but Montanans know a con job when they see one.” — NRCC Spokesman Christian Martinez
