Sheehy faces renewed scrutiny for his out-of-state ties
Helena, MT – Today, the Washington Post reported on Transplant Tim Sheehy’s carpetbagging vulnerabilities – and how his status as an ultrawealthy out-of-stater who recently moved to Montana is top of mind for Montanans.
Sheehy is most Montanans’ worst nightmare – he is “one of the wealthy out-of-staters moving to Montana, creating congestion and driving up property costs.” Sheehy moved to Montana less than a decade ago and bought up three luxury properties, “including on Flathead Lake and in Big Sky.” And he “raked in $7 million in income last year.”

In Montana: Republican Tim Sheehy, who is running against third-generation dirt farmer Sen. Jon Tester in one of Democrats’ toughest holds of the cycle, is facing attacks from Democrats that he is one of the wealthy out-of-staters moving to Montana, creating congestion and driving up property costs.
“Wealthy outsiders are changing our state, driving up the cost of housing,” a sixth-generation Montana rancher says in a Tester ad.
[Sheehy] and his wife moved to Montana after he left the Navy a decade ago […] He has three homes there, including on Flathead Lake and in Big Sky, leading Democrats to call him “Transplant Tim.”
Sheehy, who raked in $7 million in income last year according to his Senate finance disclosures, plans to invest some of his own money in the contest.
