PRESS RELEASE
Bodnar Campaign Releases New TV Ad “Boxes”
MISSOULA, MT — The day after the field for Montana’s U.S. Senate race was finalized, Independent U.S. Senate candidate Seth Bodnar’s campaign released a new statewide TV ad, “Boxes,” rejecting the idea that Montanans have to fit their views into one party’s platform or the other, and that Bodnar will always do what’s right for Montana, no matter which box it falls in.
"Boxes" marks the beginning of the campaign’s sustained paid media effort that will introduce Bodnar to more voters, explain what makes his candidacy different, and draw a clear contrast with MAGA Republican Kurt Alme heading into November.
“Boxes” Transcript:
In Washington, they force you into a box: Democrat or Republican.
And you vote how you’re told to, even if it hurts your state.
I reject that.
I’m Seth Bodnar. I’m a Green Beret.
And now I’m running for U.S. Senate as an Independent.
I’m against these reckless tariffs. And I’m for secure borders.
I support gun rights. And women’s reproductive rights.
And I’m a staunch defender of our public lands.
And approve this message because they can’t force me into a box.
I’ll just do what’s right for Montana.
This is the Bodnar campaign’s third statewide TV ad, following “Independent” and “Making Themselves Rich”.
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.
