SETH BODNAR FOR MONTANA
Seth Bodnar is a Green Beret, business leader, and former president of the University of Montana running for the U.S. Senate to be an independent voice for Montana. Seth is guided by a lifelong commitment to duty, honor, and country.

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.
