Release: The Ryan Zinke Record: Service, Leadership, and Selflessness

Press Release

After releasing all of the records in his possession, candidate for U.S. Congress Ryan Zinke requested a copy of his entire military history records in an official request to the Navy Personnel Command on September 1st, 2014.

"I wish I had them," said Zinke at one point when asked for a copy of his military records. "I am proud of my time in the Navy and my service to our country."

In the two months since the initial request for records was filed, members of the Zinke staff repeatedly called to check in on the status of the request. After numerous attempts were made to expedite the record, the campaign received full copies of all of the fitness reports earlier this afternoon and are expecting to receive and release the remainder of the records mid-week.

"We are excited to have finally received the fitness reports for Ryan and look forward to releasing more records as we receive them," said campaign spokesperson Shelby DeMars. "Ryan has an astounding record of selfless service and leadership--we are proud to share his story of dedicated service with Montanans."

"Ryan's record shows that his service to our country has been consistently exemplary," said DeMars. "The attempts by the Lewis campaign to attack Ryan's military service are not only an a pathetic attempt to distract from Lewis' lifetime as a D.C. insider, but an affront to all those who have served our nation."
