Democrat Ballard drops out of 2020 U.S. Senate race, citing health concerns
Six weeks after entering Montana’s 2020 U.S. Senate race, outdoor writer Jack Ballard on Friday pulled out, citing health reasons.
Ballard, 56, said in a statement that he’s been diagnosed with a heart condition that is not life-threatening but that must be “carefully monitored and makes it medically imprudent to continue the campaign.”
He said he’s “incredibly proud of what we accomplished in a short period of time,” such as bringing into focus issues like the cost of health care, management of public lands and financial challenges facing college students and rural schools.
