Can you stop scrolling for just a second? I’m Seth Bodnar, and I’m running for U.S. Senate in Montana. This race is already shaping up to be one of the most important in the country. That’s why the political establishment is already preparing to spend millions to elect Steve Daines’ hand-picked successor. But I’m running because I believe Montana deserves something different — leadership that isn’t tied to party bosses or the same insiders who trade political favors back and forth like candy. Leadership that puts the voices and needs of Montanans first. So, will you pitch in a few dollars to help us build the campaign it’ll take to win this November?
