  1. “either mine workers or affiliate, you know, so many of those jobs in town were affiliated with the mine. And so all of a sudden you could feel everybody doing that. And my parents are like, well, we did the one thing we could do, which was You know, make some casseroles and bring them over to the union halls and just try to support the families because, of course, nobody was getting paid. This went on for over a half a year. That's a long strike”

  2. “Yes, yes. And I mean, I remember when the workers went on strike once again of, you know, I mean, this is tough life. I mean, working in a mine at the time, this was an open pit. They were driving these gigantic, I mean, if you can envision it, these gigantic dump trucks on these tiny little rows. It was so unsafe. And they go driving down to the bottom of this pit and get the copper out, then drive back, and they're fighting for better working conditions, better pay. And that year, you know, in the early 80s, they went on strike. And the strike went on for a long. And you must have gone to school with a lot of the children of”

  3. “Yes, some of us remember, though some of you may not. There actually were phones in the house, and all those phone lines that connected, all those houses and all of the business all took copper. And out east, almost all that copper came out of Butte, Montana. Like that's how big and powerful that copper mine was in Butte, Montana. And the wars that happened between the Anaconda copper company and the unions and the organizing was historic. I mean, there's entire union movements and rules that came out of the fights in the copper mines in Butte. They were all shaft mines back then and then in the, I want to say early 50s, it became a big open pit mine. Now it's a big, super fun site. Oops, we didn't do well on that front. So that's why. There was a lot of”

  4. “When you think of all the fun, I always tell people there used to be these phones that are attached to the wall in your house that you would pick up. Yeah, exactly. Remember those?”

  5. “That was Atlantic Richfield. Yes, which in the early 1900s was known as the Anaconda copper mining company. And then, of course, got bought up. By Richfield and just, you know, of course, got bought by a number of entities. This is a copper mining town, and it was so significant in the early 1900s, late 1800s, early 1900s, obviously way before my time. I tell folks out east, yeah, of course. Everybody knows there.”

  6. “I always say folks were like, well, how did you end up being a Democrat when your parents weren't all that involved in politics? And I said, you got to understand, I grew up in Butte, Montana. It's like you're stewed in a democratic working class labor pot. Like this is, it's everywhere. And you really did, even if it wasn't said to you. It was sort of understood that you were either with the company or you were with the worker. And that was it. And my parents, even though they did not work.”

  7. “And as I travel around the country and we see particularly for Emily's list this wave of women who are coming into the political process for us, it's women saying they want to run for office, but on the ground it's women marching and organizing and pulling their communities together. This is not the direction they want to go. They believe in community. They believe in family. They believe in bringing people together. And they're really, really afraid, but they're going to take action. And that's what's so powerful But this is like we need 60 70% of the population to take action now, like which can't be just 50 at this point. We got to go. This is a we got to save our democracy.”

  8. “Outside of, I mean, obviously I am a Democratic operative who cares deeply about the Departmentic Party, but you know what? I care about the country more. And that seems to be getting lost. And this president has really, really driven into these divides. And it is shaking us to the core. And I think that's what we're seeing.”

  9. “Interesting and new equipment, or you get to read information that makes you better at hunting. And so much of it is that benefit if you separate that and say, boy, it's a benefit to those folks. That's what they're looking for. To me, like that's a good association. The lobbying power, though, and the unwillingness to have any conversation, that's unacceptable. And that is really where I think they've gone just. I think we're also reaching this type.”

  10. “No, and I would guess that it's not the majority of members of the NRA. I mean, you talked about, it is the National Rifle Association for so long as the voice of hunting and fishing and sort of that and really sportsmen, the hunting side, not so much the fishing. Not the angler side of it, but the hunting side of it. And a lot of folks that I'd run into in Montana when I was managing John Tester's race or even in Minnesota, they're members because there's benefits to being a member of the NRA and you get access to”

  11. “And I think that's where we've got to get out of the extreme debate here, which is not the only issue we have this in and try to find some common ground. And the background check piece of this seems completely sensible. I mean, my father is not an NRA member. I can't speak to if he ever has been. My uncle is, but they're very open to having some common sense laws put in place that protect people with the background check being the easiest of those all. So why we can't come together on something as simple as a universal background check, I don't know. It can get messier along the way, and I know they feel like it's asleep, you know, it's a slippery slope, is the argument, right? How much of it is that we've got to have some common sense? How much of it?”

  13. “Well, Montana, where it really is part of the culture. And I had a shotgun all through myself. I had a shotgun all through high school. And my dad still has it at the house. And I've lived outside of Washington, D.C. for a while now, so I don't have the shotgun. So I never really thought growing up about it. It was just a different time too in the 70s and the 80s that everybody had guns growing up and everybody was respectful of those guns. You know, that's why we had to go take the hunter safety course or you sat down with dad and you were taught how to clean and put together and take care of it like every step in it. But it's a culture. Right.”

  14. “It was really good, and we still do. I go home. My dad lives in Kansas now. And what's great is the freezer still filled with that. But you're right, we do talk past each other in this.”

  15. “It was so cold, and there was so much snow that I was like, I don't know. And I went to mom. I'm like, I don't, do I have to do this hunting thing? Is it okay if I get out of it? So that ended my, I love to fish. I was much better at the fishing thing. But I grew up in absolutely in a hunting household and it wasn't that I just didn't like to be that cold, honestly. That was the whole problem for me. We grew up eating game. You know, I hardly ever had beef in the house ever. I mean, we grew up eating venison and elk and ducks and pheasants, and that was just, that's who we were. Sounds good.”

  16. “I very proudly took my hunting safety course. I mean, I couldn't tell you exactly who was sponsored by, but it probably, I would not be surprised if it was not paid for and sponsored by the National Rifle Association, because that's what they do all over the country. I took it at 11 because you could get your permit at 12, so you were ready to go hunting. And then I went a couple times”

  17. “Well, that's what happened. Well, we all came out of the Democratic closet. We're like, we're all Democrats, and then we talk more about politics. So let me ask you.”

  18. “No, because my mother, midwesterners, and my mom's like, don't rock the boat here, honey. We're just not going to talk politics. That's great. And I'm like, okay, you know, I was very dutiful and not until I went to college and I was dating a Republican at the time. This was Mankato State, Minnesota, where I was in school. And my Republican boyfriend walks up to my dad and says, oh, how do you put up with this liberal daughter of yours? And my father says, oh, I'm just really proud of her. I said, well, dad, that's really nice. You'd be a Republican at all. He says, are you kidding? I've been a Democrat my entire life. And then here's the big one. He says, it's your mother that's the Republican.”

  19. “Yeah, so that's, I love that stuff. I always wanted to do that My parents raised me to do anything I wanted to do. They really, I'm lucky that way. I get that. There wasn't any sense of like there's any doors closed to you. And as a young woman, I don't even think I even thought about the fact of how lucky I was to have parents like that. And so I think that was a big, you know, just a big part of it. And I was a type B kid and I just wanted to do a little bit of everything. My mother was a Democrat. But my mom and I were so certain that my dad, who is a sportsman, he hunts and fishes. He's a gun owner. He owns quite a few, actually, Vietnam veteran. We just clearly was a Republican. And so my mom being a good requirement.”

  20. “Oh, yeah. No, this was tough. That was a telling. If nothing else, it was a psychologically bruising thing, right? You know, there's one thing being a sister, but then I learned about the sisterhood. And that was it. And I did become the Butte High School student body president, my senior year.”

  21. “Well, I figured something out was one of my first most important lessons of campaigning. I realized if I ran for student body president my junior year, the electorate changed. And it wasn't just my class, but the freshman and sophomores were going to vote too. And so then I focused my entire campaign to the freshmen in sophomore class And in fact, it really, that expanding the electorate deal is important. And I learned my lesson. The other lesson I learned is”

  22. “So you ran for students. I did. I tried to be class president a few times and I just was not convincing to my classmates. I just, it didn't work.”

  23. “About the whole family is that we never talked politics. Now I was very active. I was just that. I was that kid, right? I just wanted to change everything. I ran for student government all the time. Several times, right? Several times. That's successful.”

  24. “Well, you know, I grew up in Butte, Montana. Parents of, well, of good Midwesterners, my dad's born and raised in this little town called Mountain Lake, Minnesota. My mom was from Mason City, Iowa. And if you know anything about Minnesota and Iowa, they hate each other. So they overlook their differences and got married. Right on the border there. Right on the border, right? And then they moved out to Butte, Montana, where I was raised. And the funny thing about”
