Congressman Matt Rosendale: Unsung Hero
Matt Rosendale has been up since 4:00 a.m. He tells me this as he cracks open an energy drink. Earlier in the day, he tells me, Fox News’ Maria Bartiromo interviewed him. “She has me on when she wants the truth,” he says with a smile.
We are in the congressman’s Billings, Montana, office, a discreet second-floor setup in the heart of the state’s most populous city. Montana is the fourth-largest state in the Union, yet it ranks 43rd in population. Just over 117,000 people live in Billings.
Like so many in Big Sky Country, Rosendale wasn’t born in Montana. He was born in Baltimore, Maryland. He grew up in Maryland before buying a ranch and moving to Montana in 2002. His political opponents have used this against him. In the 2018 U.S. Senate campaign against incumbent Jon Tester, one of the digs against Rosendale was the moniker “Maryland Matt.”
