This matchup isn't final yet — we haven't confirmed every candidate here against the state's official candidate list.
This candidate list comes from federal campaign filings. We haven't checked it against MT's certified ballot yet — someone on that ballot may be missing here, and someone here may not be on it.
An open seat has no incumbent, so no incumbent record to compare — every candidate has statements. We show each for what it is.
HEAD-TO-HEAD · U.S. Senate · Montana · SAME SCALE, SAME METHOD, BOTH CANDIDATES
Two records. Your values.
Solid and hatched shapes are built from roll-call votes wherever a record exists — what each did, not what either says; a shape drawn from reviewed statements is marked on statements. Whose record sits closer to yours is your call to make.

Disclosed by the FEC; we have not built the honest derivation — same for every member.
Disclosed to the FEC in itemized contributions; we have not built the join to lobbyist registrations — same for every candidate.
Not currently a member of Congress; no STOCK Act filing obligation applies.
Every number above is a count or a share — where they differ, the difference is shown at equal weight and you weigh it. Lobbying meetings are not federally disclosed for either candidate; donations from registered lobbyists are.
FEC FILINGS THROUGH Mar 31, 2026
We hold no positions yet for any candidate in this race — none derived from congressional roll-call votes, none from stated campaign positions. That is a gap in our coverage, not a finding about the candidates.
