MT-SEN: Race draws a Libertarian candidate from the Republicans
HELENA Lewis and Clark County Commissioner Susan Good Geise said Wednesday shell be the Libertarian Partys new candidate in Montanas U.S. Senate race replacing a last-minute withdrawal.
Geise, a Republican county commissioner, told MTN News she contacted the Libertarians after reading about what appeared to be a faux Libertarian who had filed and then withdrawn last week, leaving them without a candidate in the high-profile race.
They needed a candidate very quickly, and I needed an avenue to express my support
about the need for the rule of law, which I believe has been severely eroded over the last several years, she said.
She said Libertarians nominated her at a meeting Tuesday night, and that she plans to pay her candidate filing fee Wednesday the deadline for becoming a replacement candidate.
Geise will be a candidate in whats likely to be the most expensive campaign in Montana history and a national battleground for control of the U.S. Senate.
