Another elected official in Montana is outright bailing on the Democrat Party, and this time once again from the former MT Dems' blue collar stronghold of Great Falls.

The Democrats have bailed on the working class, and more and more working class communities are bailing on the Democrats. You might recall how Cascade County Sheriff Jesse Slaughter left the Democrat Party. Shortly after that, the GOP basically swept all of the legislative races in the Great Falls area too.

Now, County Attorney Josh Racki has bailed on the Dems too. ICYMI- here's what he shared in a social media post just prior to the Labor Day holiday weekend.

Josh Racki: "I'm a lifelong Montanan, an Army veteran, and your county attorney. Over the past several years, we've watched the Democrat Party change. The movements to Defund the police, the attacks on law enforcement, and putting criminals before victims has gone too far. The Republican party puts the safety of law abiding citizens first by standing with law enforcement. I've always served the people of Cascade county with fairness and integrity. Today, I announce my switch to the Republican Party."

He added, "This decision only strengthens my ability to protect citizens, safeguard the Constitution, and relentlessly pursue justice. I'm proud to continue my work on your behalf, now, as a Republican county attorney."

Newly elected US Senator and Navy SEAL veteran Tim Sheehy (R-MT) joined Racki a few days later praising the move.

Sen. Sheehy: "Proud to have Cascade County Attorney Josh Racki join the Republican Party in the fight to bring back common sense: Secure Border, Safe Streets, Cheap Gas, Cops are Good, Criminals are Bad, Boys are Boys, and Girls are Girls!"
