PRESS RELEASE
Bodnar Campaign Releases “Independent”, First TV Ad of Independent Campaign for U.S. Senate
MISSOULA, MT— Today, Independent U.S. Senate candidate Seth Bodnar released his first television advertisement of the general election, taking a direct shot at a corrupt Washington establishment and presenting a true Independent alternative for Montana families.
The 30-second spot, titled “Independent,” is backed by a six-figure buy and draws a sharp contrast between Bodnar’s background as a Green Beret who led soldiers in Iraq and the Philippine jungles, and the career politicians in Washington who are looking out for themselves instead of the people they represent.
“Independent” Transcript:
I'm Seth Bodnar.
I've led soldiers in Iraq and through the Philippine jungles as a Green Beret.
But now I'm a dad, and I'm worried about their future.
Our country's being torn apart by politicians in D.C. who are there to get rich.
They just vote the party line, not what's best for their state.
I'm running for the U.S. Senate as an independent to stand up for Montana.
So if you're sick of politics as usual, stop voting for politicians as usual.
I'm Seth Bodnar, and I approve this message.
Seth Bodnar is a Green Beret, business leader, and former president of the University of Montana running for the U.S. Senate to be an independent voice for Montana. Seth is guided by a lifelong commitment to duty, honor, and country. He graduated first in his class at West Point and served multiple overseas deployments, leading soldiers in the 101st Airborne Division and the 1st Special Forces Group, and serving as a special advisor to the commanding general in Iraq. After his military service and a successful career in business, Seth spent the last eight years leading the University of Montana. Under his leadership, the university achieved record high graduation rates, doubled research funding, launched the largest infrastructure renewal in campus history, restored financial stability, and was named the #1 military-friendly university in the country. Raised by two public school teachers, he believes leadership is about service, not party loyalty. Seth and his wife, a fifth-generation Montanan, are raising their three children in Montana.
