Carbon County: Meet Brian Miller

This month's Carbon County Dems meeting will be held at One Legged Magpie on February 11th @ 5:30 pm. The meeting will be downstairs in their side room.

Our special guest is Brian Miller who is running for Montana's Congressional House District 2 in order to hold Troy Downing accountable for being complicit in furthering fascism in the U.S.

Miller is a Helena-based attorney and student of the Federalist Papers, and he believes that America has strayed from its ideals. He maintains that the Founders addressed the separation of powers and limitations of government, and their wisdom can be a guide to escape the current cycle of political gridlock.
