Incumbent U.S. Rep. Ryan Zinke will face a familiar opponent in the Republican primary for Montana’s western congressional district: retired pastor Mary Todd.
Todd, a Kalispell Republican who challenged Zinke in the 2022 race for Montana House District 1, is again running for the seat, citing disappointment with Zinke’s track record in Congress.
“I supported Ryan Zinke after the last primary. We gave him a lot of money,” Todd said last week. “I just hoped and prayed he would be an effective congressman and do the right thing, but several of the things he has done I don't agree with.”
