Seth Bodnar, Former University President, Will Run as an Independent Candidate for U.S. Senate in Montana

On March 4, Seth Bodnar declared as an independent candidate for U.S. Senate from Montana. See this story.

The highest percentage ever received by a U.S. Senate candidate in Montana who was not a Republican or Democratic nominee was in 1912, when the Progressive Party’s candidate, Joseph M. Dixon, polled 32.1%, ahead of the Republican nominee. The 1912 U.S. Senate election was technically an advisory vote, because at the time the U.S. Constitution still required legislators to choose Senators. Montana and a few other western states held advisory U.S. Senate votes to influence whom the legislature should choose.
