Ad copy

I’m running for Senate against Steve Daines for a simple reason — he’s not fighting for us. I’m Seth Bodnar, and I don’t give a damn what political party you belong to, but I’ll tell you this: I will stand up to anyone, Democrat or Republican, who stands in the way of what’s best for working people here in Montana. If that’s the kind of independent leadership you’d like to see in the U.S. Senate, then please, join our team. Pitch in a few dollars and become a founding donor to our campaign here in Montana.

Standout elementcandidate in military-patch jacket filmed in warm indoor setting projecting quiet, direct confidence
TacticThe ad deploys a classic 'outsider maverick' framing — pairing a personal-to-camera bio with an implicit contrast attack on Daines' record, then pivoting to a founding-donor ask to build urgency and list.
