Seth Bodnar - independent US Senate candidate

[SAJ-99]

It's also clear that the Republican Congressman and Senators don't agree with everything in the platform. For this issue, they are on record with disagreeing. For example ...

Daines-Sheehy Joint Statement on Blocking Sale of Public Lands - Senator Steve Daines

“Public Lands Belong in Public Hands” U.S. SENATE – U.S. Senators Tim Sheehy and Steve Daines issued the following joint statement after blocking a provision that would sell public lands from being included in the One Big Beautiful Bill. Debate on the bill is scheduled to begin later today but...

So brave those two, making those statements after it was clear the OBBB wouldn't pass the House with Lee's amendment. Thank Zinke if you want.

Interesting read. Sounds like Bankhead's debate tactics aren't gaining her much more voters.

I tried to get info on Bankhead's positions on her website. She has statements that rotate through the screen, but they don't linger long enough for you to read them. In other words, she can't even raise enough money for a decent website, yet people are adamant about voting for her over Seth. Messed up world.

If kurt alme cant even be accountable to attend debates, state positions, or really run a campaign - why do you think he will be accountable to you when hes elected?

I'm assuming you've been watching politicians reverse positions once elected over the years. Why would anyone think debates, positions, and ads are really what they intend to do? I think a better indicator is what they've done in life and who supports them.

Do you think Ryan Zinkes outspoken support for public lands, and important folllw throughs, represent nothing?

I completely get why MT politics is completely lost - with voters moving in that simply view voting/politics the way you do.

This was on a Democrat Facebook page.

I think half of these issues are what they are and are sort of just how Montana is being rural. Some of them like gun safety laws idk what they are trying to say, I personally don’t want any more gun laws in Montana and would actually like the pendulum to swing the other way with less regarding suppressors. Many of them I don’t see as something a politician can or should fix.

If Democrats are trying to convince Montanans that government is the solution to their problems/issues then I think they are not reading the room.

Not one mention of public lands or access (corner crossing).

Seth Bodnar has my vote.

Yeah seems pretty tone deaf and not what the majority of middle Montanans want to hear.

Fits the fantasy narrative of Bankhead staying in the race though.
