O’Neil challenging Garner in House District 7 primary
Republican Jerry O’Neil will challenge incumbent Frank Garner for the Montana House District 7 Republican nomination in the June 2 primary election.
District 7 includes the south side of the city of Kalispell and the U.S. 2 corridor within city limits.
Garner, former Kalispell chief of police, has represented the district since 2015.
O’Neil withdrew from the Senate District 2 primary to challenge Garner. He represented House District 3 from 2011-2015, and represented two different Senate Districts from 2001-2009.
