9 months out, GOP governor race primary already cooking
On an unseasonably warm November day almost a year ago on the third story of the Capitol building, Republican leaders in the state made their intentions clear.
They would lay a path, paved with party unity, that over the next two years would lead to a Republican winning the governor’s race in 2020. For what will be 16 years by Election Day, Democrats have held the office.
But Gov. Steve Bullock is termed out and running a long-shot campaign for president, so the seat is wide open. Republicans recognize the opportunity as their best chance in four election cycles to take back something they have long felt should be theirs.
