Independent US Senate candidate Seth Bodnar joins Outlaw Beat to talk about the seat Steve Daines is leaving behind and doesn’t mince words about the way Daines is trying to hand it off… “It’s garbage.”
Bodnar is a West Point valedictorian, Rhodes and Truman scholar, former Green Beret, GE executive, and the former president of the University of Montana. He’s running against Republican Kurt Alme, Democrat Alani Bankhead, and Libertarian Kyle Austin for an open Montana Senate seat — and he says he won’t caucus with either party.
We get into public lands and why he calls himself a hell no on selling them, the Boundary Waters copper mine vote, the gutting of the Forest Service and BLM, Montana’s teacher shortage and the schools staffing classrooms with teachers from the Philippines, housing and affordability in the least affordable state in the country, congressional stock trading, and what Jon Tester actually told him when he said he wanted to run as an Independent.
Then we make him take a position on issues both important and incredibly stupid… in eight words or less. You won’t believe where he stands on Q-tips!
