Former Navy officer, teacher enters race to unseat GOP senator in Montana

Montana Democrat John Mues officially launched his Senate campaign Thursday to unseat one-term Sen. Steve Daines (R).

Mues, a fourth generation Montanan, is a former U.S. Navy officer and public school teacher and currently works as an engineer in the energy sector. He hammered Daines over his opposition to the Affordable Care Act and support for President Trump’s tax cuts.

“Senator Daines’ position and votes on American health care has not only been immoral, it’s been anti-jobs and anti-business. Reliable, affordable health care, including lowering the price of prescription drugs, in the twenty-first century, is both the right thing to do and important to job creation,” Mues said in a press release.
