Out-of-Stater Navigator: Tim Sheehy Can’t Stop, Won’t Stop Causing Scandals
From lobbying government officials over an expensive steak dinner to calling young women “indoctrinated” for supporting reproductive freedoms, Tim Sheehy’s latest scandals were front and center for Montanans during the first week of voting.
As one outlet put it, this is “probably the sort of story the GOP candidate would prefer to avoid four weeks before Election Day.”
BEHIND CLOSED DOORS: SHEEHY CALLS YOUNG WOMEN “INDOCTRINATED” FOR SUPPORTING REPRODUCTIVE FREEDOM
Sheehy was caught on tape calling women under the age of 25 “indoctrinated” and “single-issue voters” for wanting to protect their reproductive freedoms, per new reporting from the Daily Montanan.
ASSOCIATED PRESS: SHEEHY SAID HIS OPPONENT ATE “LOBBYIST STEAK.” BUT HE LOBBIED — WITH STEAK
New reporting from the Associated Press revealed that Sheehy lobbied Montana government officials in an effort to win lucrative, exclusive contracts for his company – including by taking them out to dinner at expensive steakhouses.
As Associated Press reported: “Sheehy himself had a taste for red meat and lobbying, according to emails obtained by The Associated Press. He combined the two in pursuit of government contracts that allowed his aerial firefighting company to rapidly expand over the past decade.”
SHEEHY’S LUXURY APARTMENT BUILDING CHARGES EXORBITANT RENT
New reporting from Heartland Signal revealed that multimillionaire out-of-stater Sheehy claimed he built “affordable housing” for Montanans – when in reality, he invested in luxury apartments that “charge as much as $638 above the median rent in town.”
Sheehy might think that $1,800 one-bedroom apartments in Belgrade are “affordable” – but Montanans don’t.
LEE MONTANA STATE BUREAU: COULD ABORTION DECIDE THE MONTANA SENATE RACE?
New statewide reporting from the Lee Montana State Bureau is highlighting how reproductive rights are a top issue in the Montana U.S. Senate race.
Tim Sheehy’s extreme anti-abortion record is under the microscope, especially as Montanans will be voting on a reproductive rights ballot initiative this November. Today’s reporting highlights Sheehy’s repeated attacks on reproductive freedoms – he “label[ed] young women who vote based on abortion ‘indoctrinated,’” “likened the Democratic Party's position on abortion to ‘murder,’” and called abortion “sinful” and “repulsive.”
