Matt Rosendale Advances to ‘On the Radar’
Montana Congressional Candidate Takes First Step In NRCC’s ‘Young Guns’ Program
WASHINGTON - Today, the National Republican Congressional Committee announced that Matt Rosendale has been elevated to ‘On the Radar’ in the NRCC’s ‘Young Guns’ program. The program will help to provide candidates and their campaigns the tools they need to run effective, successful and winning campaigns against their Democratic opponents. Originally founded in the 2007-2008 election cycle by Majority Leader Rep. Eric Cantor (R-VA), Majority Whip Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) and Budget Chairman Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI), the Young Guns program supports and mentors challenger and open-seat candidates in races across the country. Rosendale is running in the Congressional District of Montana.
“I am confident that Matt Rosendale will be a successful and dedicated member of this program and that he will continue to work hard to reach the crucial campaign benchmarks that have been established ahead of the 2014 elections,” said NRCC Chairman Greg Walden. “Matt’s conservative principles and priorities provide a stark contrast to Barack Obama’s irresponsible agenda. Montana’s hardworking families deserve better than skyrocketing health care costs, financial instability and mountains of debt on their backs. I am certain that Matt Rosendale will be a strong contender this election cycle.”
Matt got an early taste for the working world as a young boy taking press photos for his parent’s weekly newspaper. After high school, he became a regional seafood salesman and eventually transitioned to working as a cook in Houston, Texas. A hunting trip in the early nineties brought Matt to Montana, where he fell in love with the state and its core values. He moved his family to Glendive where they bought land and started a family ranch. He has been serving in the Montana State Senate since 2011.
