BREAKING: Steve Daines just dropped out of the Montana Senate race. I’m Seth Bodnar. I’m a Green Beret, a businessman, an educator and a dad, and I just launched my Independent campaign for Senate this morning. Now this race is wide open, and we have a real opportunity to build something strong here in Montana. If you believe it’s time for new leadership, chip in today and help us get this campaign off the ground.
