SETH BODNAR FOR MONTANA

ad creative

Ad copy

Our water is already stressed. Our electric bills are already too high. And somewhere in a boardroom far from Montana, decisions are being made that could make both of those resources a whole lot more strained. Seth Bodnar understands why this is freaking people out. Because it should. AI and data centers aren’t going away, and Seth isn’t pretending they are. But powerful technology doesn’t get a free pass because it’s new. Montana learned its lesson from the exploitation by the copper kings. Before a single permit gets approved, Seth will fight for the terms Montana deserves: - Total informed community consent - 100% transparency on the impact on utilities and the environment - The requirement that the corporations bear the brunt of the cost - Exclusive use of Montana labor in construction Kurt Alme and the political establishment are sitting back and watching it all happen. Seth won’t. *Note: AI was not used in the production of this video.* Follow @sethbodnarcampaign #DeclareYourIndependence #mtsen #mtpol #Montana #MontanaProud
