Ten things that make Brian Schweitzer awesome:

1. He Unequivocally Endorses Medicare-For-All, Single Payer: Schweitzer is an advocate of expanding Medicare to all Americans, and even sought a waiver from the Affordable Care Act to allow his own state to pursue single payer. Schweitzer explained his support for Canadian-style single payer health care like so: “Imagine if you went to a gas station, and you looked over at a car with a Canadian license plate. They were paying $1 a gallon for gas, and you’re paying $2. Wouldn’t that make you mad? That’s exactly what’s happening. I’m mad for all the people in the country.”

2. He Calls Out Corporate Control Of Our Government — And Fights It: In an interview last year, Schweitzer said that “corporations are controlling not just our governments but our everyday lives.” How many Democrats are willing to state that truth? Schweitzer also has blasted Citizens United, supports a constitutional amendment to ban corporate money, and is especially passionate about this issue since the Supreme Court struck down Montana’s ban on corporate money in elections.

Extra plus: He's the former Montana Democratic Governor, he's from a ranch, wears boots that have real cow shit on them, and has a working/herding Border Collie (Jag) that goes nearly everywhere with him, including the governor's office!
