Montana Chamber of Commerce endorsements can't be trusted

The Montana Chamber cannot be trusted when it comes to Montana Supreme Court candidate endorsements.

The Montana Chamber of Commerce board of directors will formally endorse candidates in the 2024 Montana Supreme Court elections. Sadly, they have a penchant for endorsing extremely partisan, unqualified candidates over highly qualified Justices. Lucky for us the Chamber’s Supreme Court picks haven't been winning. 

This year may be no different. There are two important elections for the Montana Supreme Court on the ballot in November – one for chief justice and one for a justice seat, both open due to retirements. Judge Jerry Lynch and Cory Swanson are running to succeed the chief justice, and Judge Katherine Bidegaray and Dan Wilson are running for the justice seat.
