4th-generation Montana rancher. West Point grad & former Blackhawk pilot. Democrat running for US House of Representatives. Paid for by Matt Rains for Montana
Montana, USA
Joined July 2019
I’m Matt Rains. I’m a fourth-generation rancher, graduated from West Point, and served as a Captain and Black Hawk pilot in the Army. Montanans are getting squeezed from every direction. That’s why I’m running for Congress.

"As reckless tariffs drive up costs for everyone, and this Administration puts Argentina before Americans, this isn’t a partisan issue—it’s about fighting for our way of life," said Rains. https://t.co/Ks2PV2PRld

Chuck is right: Montana has twice as many cows as humans. Zinke represents neither. Ryan Zinke isn’t looking out for Montana’s ranchers, but I will.

Ranchers like Jenny are the lifeblood of Montana’s economy. Proud to earn her vote.

Our economy is already on the ropes. Now they want to buy Argentinian beef and screw over our ranchers. A rancher’s life is not easy. They put their heart and soul into the livestock they raise. We don’t need Trump and Zinke working against us.
👀@BeefUSA, which stood with Trump through his entire tariff campaign, now says they "cannot stand behind the President while he undercuts the future of family farmers and ranchers by importing Argentinian beef in an attempt to influence prices."

Qasem Soleimani has been an imminent threat to the US for decades. If there's something new or drastically different that necessitated this strike yesterday, the administration needs to tell us what it is.

Congrats to the Little Shell Tribe! You’ve put in the tough fight. Always appreciate Sen Tester’s 13 years of keeping the issue on the agenda in Congress. Simply heart-warming when we see Montana wins in Congress!
After generations of hard work, federal recognition for the Little Shell Tribe is headed to the President's desk to become law. I've been honored to fight alongside the Tribe for their sovereignty since I came to the Senate. This is a monumental day for the Tribe and for Montana.

BREAKING: The House of Representatives just voted to federally recognize the Little Shell Tribe as a sovereign nation. Now, it's over to the Senate and one step closer to becoming law. I'll keep fighting until we get it over the finish line.

To all my fellow Montana Democrats... Please stop talking about Gov Bullock for Senate. We have three INCREDIBLE candidates for Senate that have asked to fight for us. Fight for them. They want and deserve the job. @MuesforMontana @CoraforMT @CollinsWilmot

It’s heartbreaking when a Montana identity passes. My grandmother simply couldn’t go to the Western Art week without trying her hardest to get another Contway bronze. Few could capture our spirit like Jay. RIP.
In Loving Memory of Jay Contway. Jay Joseph Contway was born February 13, 1935 in Malta, Montana and passed away November 21, 2019 in Great Falls, Montana… Read the full obituary here: https://t.co/SjW2dktiz6

Congrats and good luck to the next generation of Montana military leaders! It’s a tough journey, but worth every step along the way!
Each year, I’m honored to nominate Montana’s best and brightest to our nation’s prestigious military academies. This year’s nominees—from class presidents to team captains—are from all over MT. I know with these young leaders at the helm, our country is in good hands. Congrats!

If anyone wants to know where the “spit and vinegar” in my veins come from when it involves fighting for the greater good, Montanans, agriculture, and rural communities... it comes from this great Veteran and grandfather.
