New Breed of Western Democrats

Brian Schweitzer is among the new breed of Western Democrats that will steer the future direction of the Democratic Party.

Schweitzer has succeeded by appealing to a common denominator, demonstrating that areas of mutual interest can be a natural fit to Democratic values.
