FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

​

MILLER FOR CONGRESS CALLS ON MIKE EISENHAUER AND CONGRESSMAN TROY DOWNING TO A SERIES OF AT LEAST 3 OPEN TOWNHALL DEBATES IN MT2

​

250 years after the start of the American Revolution, the Republic is in dire straits.  Whether it is the unchecked spread of data centers and artificial intelligence, an unaffordable healthcare system, unsustainable income inequality, endless foreign wars, a broken immigration system, out of control national debt, or the growing agricultural crisis, Americans are worried and looking to their elected leaders to provide real solutions.

​

These days, however, most politicians rarely speak directly to the people that they say they want to represent. Instead, they hide behind consultants, deceptive ads, misleading soundbites, and dark money psychological operations.  This is unacceptable. The People deserve better.

​

It’s high time for elected leaders to start showing the people of Montana proper respect.  For these reasons, Miller for Congress calls on Troy Downing and Mike Eisenhauer to agree to a series of no less than 3 open townhall debates.  Each debate should last at least two hours.  The audience should be open to the public and livestreamed across the state.  Downing and Eisenhauer can pick the moderators.  Each candidates gets a three-minute opening statement and a 5-minute closing statement.  All of the questions will come directly from the audience.  The moderator should be tasked with making sure that the questions come from audience members from the left, right, and center, so that the views of Montanans are equally represented. All candidates should give each other equal time to answer.  A publicly observable timer should be used to that effect. 

​

This notice is being sent to Eisenhauer’s official campaign email (info@eisenhauerforcongress.com) and texted to Eisenhauer’s personal cell phone number (Miller and Eisenhauer have each other’s personal cell phone numbers and have previously communicated via text and spoken directly).

​

This notice is also being sent to Downing’s spokesperson Keegan Bittner (Keegan.Bittner@mail.house.gov) and is being DM’d to Troy Downing directly on Facebook (Miller and Downing have previously exchanged DMs on Facebook).

​

This release is also being sent all major and minor press outlets throughout the State of Montana, and posted on Miller’s Tik Tok, Facebook, and Instagram platforms.
