MT-SEN: Race draws a Libertarian candidate from the Republicans
HELENA — Lewis and Clark County Commissioner Susan Good Geise said Wednesday she’ll be the Libertarian Party’s new candidate in Montana’s 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News she contacted the Libertarians after reading about what appeared to be a “faux Libertarian” who had filed and then withdrawn last week, leaving them without a candidate in the high-profile race.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 what’s likely to be the most expensive campaign in Montana history and a national battleground for control of the U.S. Senate.
