The contest for the lone Montana seat in the U.S. House of Representatives now includes seven candidates.

Although only recently announcing his bid for governor, Greg Gianforte has stashed more campaign cash than any other candidate. Does being a Rich Republican have its advantages?

A legislative fiscal audit found that Secretary of State Corey Stapleton put a lot of miles on a fancy state pickup driving home to Billings on weekends.  Corey couldn’t be bothered to show up before the Legislative Audit Committee to defend his driving; his underling dismissed the issue as “tele-work.”

As Republican candidates line up and sign up, their enthusiasm for the POTUS SHMOTUS seems a bit forced.

Corey Stapleton rapidly switched his political ambition from the governor’s office to Montana’s single U.S. House seat.  We’ll see how much he follows in the footsteps of Greg Gianforte.

Elsie Arntzen announced she will run for a second term as Superintendent of Public Instruction.  Apparently, her experience as a teacher didn’t include grammar.  (This is a direct quote from her announcement.)

Do we have to go through this again? Even as Greg Gianforte announced he’s running for governor in 2020, some prominent Republicans were openly wishing he wouldn’t.

Secretary of State Corey Stapleton has tried to negate Gov. Bullock’s veto of HB 132. Stapleton says he didn’t receive the veto within 10 days, so it isn’t valid. There’s no statutory timeline for the governor to send a veto to the Secretary of State.  Once again, Corey is out of his league.

Even as the Supreme Court considers the issue of a citizenship question, Sen. Steve Daines (R-MT) has introduced a bill to require it on the 2020 census.

As Governor Steve Bullock enters the crowded Democratic field for U.S. President, he faces a big challenge on gaining name recognition.  Gotta play off the differences!
