We want to surge ahead of extremist Kurt Alme (Washingtonโ€™s hand-selected insider candidate), and send Seth Bodnar to the U.S. Senate. We need grassroots folks to step up right now.

He stepped up and decided to run for Senate because he was fed up with Montanans being a chess piece in DCโ€™s political games.
