Russ Cleveland is a father, coach, small business owner, and Navy veteran who has spent the last decade helping families through crisis while carrying the loss of his child to leukemia. He chose to run for the U.S. House in Montana’s 1st District to bring back humility, integrity, and decency to Western Montana’s representation in Washington.

Raised on a farm in Stevensville, Russ knows what it means to work hard, care for your neighbors, and fight for the community you love. As a husband and father, he is determined to leave the next generation a Montana that is strong, safe, and full of opportunity.

Big money and outside interests have turned Montana’s beautiful lands into a bargaining chip and treated our families like collateral. But Montanans never back down from a challenge, and we are ready to fight back. Our public lands, local businesses, schools, and communities deserve leaders who fight for them every single day, not leaders who put profits and partisan politics ahead of people. It is time to reclaim our state, protect what is ours, and build a Montana that truly works for the working class.
