Belgrade, MT – Today, Montana Governor Greg Gianforte threw his support behind former Navy SEAL Officer and current CEO of Bridger Aerospace, Tim Sheehy, for U.S. Senate.
“Tim Sheehy is a good friend, and I’m glad he decided to run for the U.S. Senate. Tim’s business experience and commitment to public service is what we need in Washington. I know that Tim Sheehy will serve Montana well in the U.S. Senate, and he has my full support.”
– Governor Greg Gianforte
This latest endorsement comes after Senators Steve Daines, Marsha Blackburn, Tom Cotton, and Markwayne Mullin all endorsed Sheehy as the best choice to take on Jon Tester in 2024.
As a veteran and businessman, Tim is running for the U.S. Senate to bring a new generation of strong conservative leadership and common-sense solutions to fix our nation’s problems. Tim believes it’s the career politicians and their failure to run our government like a business and act with accountability that has dug America into this mess. Tim will stand strong against Jon Tester and the Democratic Party’s agenda of inflation, open borders, criminals over cops, drugs and violence in our communities, and a woke culture impacting our classrooms and military bases.
