Seth Bodnar for Montana

Political elites are crushing the American Dream. Montanans are an independent people, and we deserve an independent voice in Washington fighting to lower costs and protect our values. I'm running for Senate to take our government back.

🚨ENDORSEMENT ALERT🚨 We’re excited to endorse @SethBodnarForMT to represent Montana in the U.S. Senate. Seth knows working people are paying the price for corruption. He’s fighting for Montanans, not special interests. We look forward to helping him win in November.

Montana is done being collateral damage. At the Montana Festival in Bozeman, Seth Bodnar said what too many Montanans already know: both parties have failed us. The cost of living is crushing families, homeownership is slipping out of reach, disastrous tariffs are bankrupting our farmers and costing lives. This isn't a red problem or a blue problem, it's a problem with the broken two-party system. That's why Seth is running, not for a party, or party bosses, but for every Montanan who's been left behind while Washington traded in contempt instead of results.

Seth Bodnar is proud and grateful to have earned the endorsements of Jon Tester, Max Baucus, Marc Racicot, Susan Geise, Dorothy Bradley, and Gary Buchanan — people who've led and represented Montana, across both parties, and know what real leadership looks like. This reflects Seth's campaign: Not a partisan coalition, but Montanans coming together across party aisles and choosing a new independent path.

Today we honor the flag, not a party or a politician. Just the promise it makes to every American. To everyone who's carried it, thank you. Happy Flag Day. 🇺🇸 #DeclareYourIndependence #MontanaFirst #MTSen #Montana #mtpol #MontanaProud #FlagDay

In 2024, Montanans voted by 14 points to enshrine the right to make personal decisions about pregnancy and abortion in our constitution. The vote was clear, not close — and for Montanans, not partisan agendas. Seth Bodnar stands with Montanans. He supports codifying Roe v. Wade nationally because he believes what most Montanans believe: your private decisions are yours and yours alone. Not the government's. Not a political party's. Yours. *Note: AI was not used in the production of this content.* Follow @SethBodnarForMT #DeclareYourIndependence #MontanaFirst #MTSen #Montana #MontanaProud

When it comes to gun control, Seth believes in the Constitution he swore an oath to defend when he served. The 2nd Amendment isn't just about hunting. It's about freedom and the right to protect yourself and your family. More needs to be done to prevent gun violence, but not by trampling on the rights of law-abiding citizens. Stand with Seth in defending the right to keep and bear arms. *Note: AI was not used in the production of this content.* Follow @SethBodnarForMT for more. #DeclareYourIndependence #MontanaFirst #MTSen #Montana #MontanaProud

Washington's entire operating system is: beat the other team. I'm running to break it. Democrats. Republicans. Independents. All at the table. Working together for Montana and the country — not against each other. Follow @sethbodnar for more. #DeclareYourIndependence #MontanaFirst #MTSen #Montana #MontanaProud

June 6, 1944. Thousands of young men, many of them barely old enough to vote, charged into machine gun fire on the beaches of Normandy. They didn't ask which party sent them. They didn't fight for a title or a career. They fought for something bigger than all of us. Today, we remember them. Their sacrifice was a payment for the freedom and democracy we hold today. The least we can do is protect it. #DDay #Montana #DeclareYourIndependence

The League of Conservation Voters has endorsed our campaign. Montanans have a constitutional right to a clean and healthful environment, and I stand ready to protect our water, air, and land for us, our children, and our grandchildren. No party tells me how to vote. Montana does. Thank you @LCVoters. Follow @SethBodnar for more. #DeclareYourIndependence #MTSen #Montana #MontanaProud

The November ballot in Montana is set and it’s a tale of two candidates: One got on the ballot because party insiders put him there and cut Montanans out. The other got on the ballot by gathering more than 20,000 signatures. Now the special interest PACs are bankrolling Kurt Alme’s campaign. This November, Montanans will have a choice between the same systemic corruption and bank room deals, or an Independent voice who will fight for our state and its people.

🚨 20,000+ signatures for Seth Bodnar's petition to get on the November ballot from 52 of Montana's 56 counties are now with the Secretary of State. Our volunteer-driven campaign collected nearly 30,000 signatures — far beyond the state-law threshold to qualify for ballot access. Montanans shouted loud and clear that they want an Independent voice in the U.S. Senate, and we're showing up to deliver.

9 out of 10 Americans disapprove of Congress, and I feel the same way. The two-party system isn't broken by accident. It's working exactly as designed to benefit DC insiders, not Americans. Steve Daines picked his own replacement, Kurt Alme. Groomed by the party machine, handed a Senate race, and ready to keep playing the same tired game that got us here. Montana doesn't need another insider. We need someone willing to say what everyone's thinking: this isn't working, and pretending otherwise isn't leadership. That's why I'm running as an Independent. No party telling me how to vote. No political favors to return. The era of choosing the lesser of two evils should be over. It's time to choose differently. Join us.

The Montana Conservation Voters just endorsed our campaign, and it is deeply meaningful to me because Montana First means protecting the places that make this state worth fighting for. The rivers you fish. The mountains you hike. The land your family has worked for generations. Washington has spent decades making backroom deals that sell out our outdoors. We're done with that. This is what Independent leadership looks like: earning the trust of Montanans who care deeply about this land. Not by checking a party box, but by actually showing up.

This country made a promise to every person who put on a uniform. Right now, Washington is breaking it. Montana has one of the highest veteran suicide rates in the nation. VA Montana lost nearly 9% of its workforce. Veterans are waiting up to six months to see a psychiatrist. Our veterans are people, not budget lines to be slashed. I served. I know what the people next to me were willing to give. And I know what we owe them when they come home. As Montana's Independent voice in the U.S. Senate, I'll fight to: → Restore and fully fund VA healthcare across rural Montana → Expand veteran mental health services and end the staffing cuts → Bring mobile VA clinics to the communities that need them most → Protect the GI Bill and open real pathways into civilian careers → Hold Washington accountable — no waiting lists, no political games This isn't partisan. This is a promise. Comment "Veteran" and I'll DM you the full Montana First Veterans Agenda. Follow @sethbodnar for more. #MontanaFirst #declareyourindependence #mtsen #montana

I had the honor of attending Helena's Memorial Day ceremony, where I met with Gold and Green Star families who have given the ultimate sacrifice and deserve our deepest gratitude and our strongest commitment to action. We had honest conversations about expanding mental health services for veterans in Montana, because honoring the fallen also means taking care of those who came home. I also had the privilege of sitting down for lunch with members of the Helena Area Veterans. Good people, strong community, and a reminder of why this work matters. Then it was on to Great Falls for their Memorial Day ceremony. I was moved by the turnout. It's no secret that Montana is one of the most patriotic states in the nation. Our sons and daughters enlist at rates that put most states to shame, and Great Falls is a shining example of that tradition. Thank you to everyone who welcomed me into your communities this weekend. I don't take that trust lightly, and you inspire me to continue to serve this great state. Follow @sethbodnar for more. #MontanaFirst #DeclareYourIndependence #mtsen #montana

There's a word for what's happening to the VA right now: Betrayal. Staffing gutted. Wait times climbing. Veterans calling to schedule mental health appointments and waiting. Waiting. Waiting. And in DC, the same politicians who wrap themselves in the US flag on Memorial Day are signing off on cuts that leave the people who actually bled for that flag without a doctor, without a counselor, without a call back. Montana has more veterans per capita than almost any state in the country. They aren't statistics, they're our neighbors, friends, and family. They're the people I've shaken hands with at VFW halls across this state. And they deserve better than a government that treats their sacrifice like a line item to trim. A compact was made when they raised their right hand and swore an oath to our Constitution. We owe them. These cuts don't get reversed because politicians feel guilty. They get reversed because the people get loud. As your Senator, I'll be the loudest in demanding care for our veterans.

As a former Green Beret, I know the cost of war. That's why I applaud the Senate's move to reclaim its War Powers authority on Iran. Congress must be a co-equal branch, not a rubber stamp. Montana deserves a Senator who stands up to DC bosses. As your Independent Senator, I always will. #declareyourindependence #mtsen #montana
