Republican voters sent incumbent state Rep. Tony Brockman packing during Tuesday’s primary election, backing instead a teenage political neophyte for House District 8.
Brockman, who represented a district that included Evergreen, met defeat at the ballot box despite the backing of the local business community and Republican Gov. Greg Gianforte. Lukas Schubert, who garnered the backing of House Speaker Matt Regier, will appear on the November ballot against Democrat Beth Sibert.
Schubert secured 1,502 votes to Brockman’s 1,017, according to unofficial results.
