Businessman and former Navy SEAL Tim Sheehy announced Tuesday that he is seeking the Republican nomination for a U.S. Senate seat in Montana that is considered to be a must-win for the GOP.
“I’ve proudly fought for our country to defend our freedoms, and I’m once again answering the call to serve,” Mr. Sheehy said in a campaign announcement. “I will fight to bring real leadership to Washington to save our country and protect our Montana way of life.”
The first-time candidate accused Mr. Tester of “losing sight of Montana values” after having served in the Senate since 2006. National Republican Senatorial Committee Chairman Steve Daines of Montana endorsed Mr. Sheehy’s bid for the seat that could clinch a GOP majority in the Senate. Meanwhile, speculation has swirled over whether Rep. Matt Rosendale, who ran against Mr. Tester in 2018, will mount a second GOP bid for the Senate.
