(Gianforte/Wife's background: conservative, religious...)
Thanks, almost forgot.
If I may add...(for those not familiar w/MT)
Aaron Flint left ‘Voices of Montana’ to join Gianforte’s campaign.
Take a minute to search Aaron Flint (he was much more than an informative radio host for one hour, 5 days a week in MT)
Aaron was on top of Montana/other stories, similar to sub hosts on Rush, Levin, Hannity, etc.

Good for montana
Good for Montana,I hope he becomes their governor.
mudderfooker made nearly as much as me. darn. who is this guy?
Although there are three declared candidates listed for Governor on the GOP side, I presume it will come down to between ex-Sec of State Brad Johnson and Greg Gianforte (barring any entries between now and the filing deadline in March).
I don’t know anything about Gianforte. However, I know Johnson has more of a losing track record, although currently holds a PSC seat. He did win narrowly in 2004 (51-49%) for Secretary of State, but he lost reelection by 1% in 2008 to Linda McCulloch (48-49%) with a Constitution Party candidate depriving him of a crucial 2.5%. Johnson attempted a rematch in 2012 against McCulloch, but this time lost by a wider 45-51% margin. He did run for PSC Commissioner in a district (5th) in 2014 and won handily.
Given this record, I’d be willing to give Gianforte a look if he has good attributes.
The guy is rich. And he paid his taxes.
What a jerk he must be. //sarc
Any Montana FReepers give us info on Gianforte? Is he a tea party member?
