Montana Democrats pick state lawmaker as U.S. Senate candidate

Democrats in Montana on Saturday nominated a one-term state representative, Amanda Curtis, as their candidate for U.S. Senate to replace incumbent Senator John Walsh who quit the race following a controversy over his suspected plagiarism.

Delegates at a special convention chose Curtis, 34, a teacher in Butte, over rancher Dirk Adams, according to a Twitter posting by the Montana Democratic Party . The state party did not respond to an email and phone call about the nomination.

Curtis will face U.S. Representative Steve Daines, a Republican, and Libertarian Roger Roots in the mid-term election this November.

Walsh had been appointed to the post by Montana Governor Steve Bullock earlier this year to replace outgoing Senator Max Baucus, now ambassador to China. But last month, the U.S. Army War College opened an inquiry into accusations that Walsh plagiarized parts of a paper he wrote for a master's degree.

This is going to be the biggest "blow-out" in all the Senate races this year. But, this young lady is building her "political capital" in the Montana 'Rat Party for sure.

Oh, this seat was a slam-dunk for the GOP even before Walsh was exposed as the fraud he is. But, hey, he’s a Democrat; one can’t expect him to be a person of integrity.

OH goodie, she is the perfect RAT to crash and burn in Nov.

I now give less 10% chance of winning....

“During a rally sponsored by Mayors Against Illegal Guns outside of the Montana State Capitol in August of 2013, Curtis urged Montana’s senior U.S. Senator Max Baucus to rethink his position on background checks. She spoke about how gun violence has affected her own family and called for more action to be taken.[14]”
