Out-of-Stater Navigator: Four Days Until Primary, Montana Republicans Still Not Sold on Sheehy
After campaigning for nearly a year, Transplant Tim Sheehy has still not won over Montana Republicans. After concerns over messy primary meddling and Sheehy’s pattern of lies and inconsistencies, Montanans don’t trust Shady Sheehy.
With the primary on Tuesday, June 4th, new reporting highlights how Montana Republicans are “unsure if they will end up voting for him” because they see Sheehy for who he is: an ultra-wealthy out-of-stater who is only running for the Senate to enrich himself and who does not know the first thing about the Montana way of life.
HEADLINE: “SHEEHY SKEPTICISM AMONG ULTRA-REPUBLICANS STILL LINGERS GOING INTO PRIMARY”
New reporting from the Helena Independent Record reveals the cracks in Sheehy’s coalition as Republicans remain skeptical of his candidacy.
Just two weeks before Montana’s primary, “many Republicans interviewed by the Montana State News Bureau still have a bad taste in their mouth about how Sheehy became the anointed candidate and are unsure if they will end up voting for him” after Sheehy’s candidacy was pushed by Mitch McConnell and national Republicans. As Eric Olsen, “a Yellowstone County conservative” put it: “How do you fight a billionaire club?”
NEW DETAILS EMERGE ABOUT THE EMPLOYEE LAWSUIT AGAINST TIM SHEEHY
Montanans across the state are reading about how Sheehy “allegedly forc[ed] two former employees to sell off stock that was part of their compensation package before the company sold a subsidiary for hundreds of millions of dollars,” resulting in a lawsuit against him and his brother.
Reporting from Daily Montanan highlights how the plaintiffs claim the Sheehy brothers “improperly forced them to sell or convert their vested stock ownership in the company — which the suit claims could be worth millions of dollars.”
COLUMN: “TIM SHEEHY MUST EARN THE PUBLIC’S TRUST”
Sheehy’s repeated lies and inconsistencies about who he is are catching up to him, and Montanans deserve the truth.
A new Daily Montanan column, called Sheehy out for his pattern of falsehoods surrounding his upbringing and life story. From lying about his “rural” upbringing to his inconsistent accounts about the day records show he shot himself in the arm in Glacier National Park, Sheehy “seems to be having trouble” with the truth.
REMINDER: TIM SHEEHY WOULD TRANSFER OUR PUBLIC LANDS
Sheehy supports transferring public lands to “state agencies, or even counties,” which would make it easier to sell off Montana’s public lands to out-of-state multimillionaires like him.
Since learning that 83% of Montanans say that conservation issues are a matter they consider at the polls, Sheehy has desperately tried to cover up his stance with a lie. On his website, Sheehy falsely claims that he “opposes a federal transfer of our public lands,” but the truth is that he’s called for public lands to “get turned over to state agencies, or even counties.”
From now until November, they’ll be making certain that Montanans know the truth about where Sheehy stands.
