Montana 2020 General Election Series - Part 1

Secretary of State and State Auditor and Securities and Insurance Commissioner - This episode includes a breakdown of the two offices and information on the candidates, Bryce Bennett (Democrat) and Christi Jacobsen (Republican) running for Secretary of State, and Shane Morigeau (Democrat) and Troy Downing (Republican) running for State Auditor and Securities and Insurance Commissioner. In this 4-part series we will cover the federal and statewide offices that will be on the ballot in the 2020 General Election. Our intention is to provide information about the offices so you, the voters, understand how the office serves you. We will also provide information about the candidates, where they stand on issues, their political experience, and whether or not their background record lines up with what they say they will do for you if you give them your vote. Full disclosure, ours is not a non-biased or non-partisan point of view. With the COVID-19 pandemic and the healthcare, economic, racial equality, and climate crisis our state and country are facing, this will be the most important election of our lifetime. We need to elect politicians who are experienced, intelligent, and know how to use the tools of government to find solutions to these critical problems based on reason and science, not self interest or ideology. After extensive research of both the Democratic and Republican candidates, it was clear to us who would better serve the citizens of Montana.
