HELENA (AP) — Montana state Auditor Matt Rosendale announced a bid for the U.S. Senate Monday, bringing a high profile challenge to Democratic U.S. Sen. Jon Tester.
Rosendale's aggressive campaigning style could give a strong challenge to Tester, who is considered one of the most vulnerable Democrats seeking re-election in 2018.
Rosendale in November won a four-year term to oversee the insurance and securities industries in Montana. He previous served in the state Legislature, representing the Glendive area.
