2024 is expected to be a really big election year.
It’s predicted that the entire nation will be closely watching Montana’s US Senate race in which Sen. Jon Tester (D) will vie for re-election, with the outcome of that race possibly making the difference in the balance of the US Senate.
On opening day for candidate filing, January 11, numerous candidates filed for the US Senate and for the US House for eastern Montana, with the big question looming about what incumbent US Rep. Matt Rosendale (R) will do. Rep. Rosendale is considering not running for re-election in the House but to challenge Sen. Tester, which would leave the field wide open for Montana’s eastern House district.
Rep. Rosendale has until the closing of candidate filing on March 11 to make his decision. Several Republican candidates who have filed for the eastern district have said that they will withdraw if Rep. Rosendale decides to run for re-election to the US House of Representatives.
