Campaign

Democratic U.S. Sen. John Walsh has filed a final fundraising report after ending his campaign in August.

A rough-and-tumble three-way democratic primary battle for Missoula County Sheriff ended months ago with candidate T.J. McDermott taking over 50 percent of the vote. Now, competitor Josh Clark is running a write-in campaign unaffiliated with either political party.

HELENA, Mont. (AP) — The latest Federal Election Commission fundraising reports show two Republican candidates for the U.S. House seat have made large personal loans to their campaign coffers.

The McCutcheon v. FEC decision by the Supreme Court this week means that large political donors will be able to spend their money on more candidates.

Former Lt. Gov. John Bohlinger says he will probably drop out of U.S. Senate race after his Democratic opponent was appointed to replace Sen. Max Baucus.

Two weeks ago, Senate candidate John Bohlinger announced on the Talk Back show that he may leave the Senate race if Lieutenant Governor John Walsh is appointed to fill the position by Governor Steve Bullock. Kate Cholewa is the spokesperson for the Dirk Adams for Senate campaign and she says Adams will not follow Bohlinger's footsteps.

The end of January marks the first filing deadline on which 2014 political candidates must record their collected campaign funds to the Federal Election Commission, but, so far, information from the John Walsh for Senate campaign is missing.

Although he hasn't been saying much on his own behalf, there is a lot of buzz that former Montana Governor Brian Schweitzer will run for Max Baucus' U.S. Senate seat.

The whole story behind the money that has poured in to Montana's elections won't be told until after the election. Here's why . . .

Montana's campaign finance law has been in flux ever since a lower court decision in Lair v Bullock overturned Montana's spending limits as being unconstitutional.
