Republican Tim Sheehy, a former Navy SEAL and successful businessman, announced his campaign for the 2024 Montana Senate race 'to retire Jon Tester' in 2024.
officially announced his candidacy exclusively with Fox News Digital Tuesday calling for"a new generation of leadership" in his bid to unseat vulnerable incumbent Sen. John Tester, D-Mont., in 2024.
Sheehy, who is running in the state of fellow former Navy SEAL Rep. Ryan Zinke, R-Mont., noted that"we're in one of the lowest participation rates in history of veterans in Congress. And that's a huge problem. We want to get combat veterans in and those who understand service back to help fix this government and get things working right.
"One thing that I've done with my businesses is create good, high paying jobs here in the state," Sheehy said."These aren't jobs that are dependent on out-of-state visitors or out of state revenue. These are jobs that exist here in our state that are creating careers in our state. And I think that's a very important trajectory we want to put our state economy on."
with a state-wide seat in the Big Sky State, which Sheehy believes is due to the Democratic Party turning on the cultural values prized by the state's residents."I actually don't think Montana has gotten redder," Sheehy said when asked about the state shifting red in past elections."I think the Democrat Party has left Montana. I think Montanans have always been socially conservative, hardworking people that have a mindset of accountability and get'er done.
"Jon Tester has been in lockstep with that vision his whole life. And now I think it's going to be hard for him to run away from that path because it's very clear," Sheehy said of the vulnerable Democrat.
