Public Service Commission President James Brown is running for Montana state auditor in 2024, he announced Thursday.
Brown, a Republican, previously told Montana Free Press he was considering a run for the office if the incumbent auditor, Republican Troy Downing, enters the race for Montana’s eastern district seat in Congress. Downing, indeed, is now seeking to succeed Republican Congressman Matt Rosendale, who is widely expected to run against declared Republican candidate Tim Sheehy for a chance to seek the Senate seat currently held by Jon Tester (who formally filed for re-election last week).
No other candidate has yet announced a campaign for auditor. The filing deadline is March 11.
