GOP Senate hopeful Tim Sheehy told attendees of a rally in Kalispell on Tuesday that he planned to counter rival U.S. Sen. Jon Tester’s deep pockets with a final hour blitz across Montana.
“You’ve got to know this guy ‘Shady Sheehy,’” Sheehy said before a packed audience in the Expo Building of the Flathead County Fairgrounds on Oct. 22. The reference to the moniker, drawn from some of the attack ads against him inundating the state, elicited a round of laughter.
Sheehy currently leads Tester by 7 percentage points according to a recent New York Times poll in what has become one of the most expensive races in the nation this election cycle. Whoever wins the seat will likely secure control of the Senate for either the GOP or Democratic Party.
