End Citizens United Endorses Independent Seth Bodnar for U.S. Senate in Montana

MISSOULA, MT — End Citizens United (ECU), a leading national anti-corruption organization, today endorsed Independent Seth Bodnar for U.S. Senate in Montana. 

"Too many politicians of both parties in Washington are beholden to their biggest donors, and working people are paying the price," said Seth Bodnar. "As Montana’s Independent voice in the Senate, I will always put Montanans over profit and partisanship. It's time to reform our broken political system, and that starts with fighting Citizens United. I'm honored to have the endorsement of End Citizens United and look forward to working with them to root out the corruption that's undermining our democracy."

"Montanans know that Washington is only working for billionaires and powerful special interests, and they are demanding change," said End Citizens United President Tiffany Muller. "Seth Bodnar represents that change. He'll tackle the corruption that's become commonplace in the halls of Congress and restore integrity. We are proud to endorse Seth and look forward to helping him win in November."

Seth has released a comprehensive “Montana First Reform Agenda” to fight the corruption, self-dealing, and partisan dysfunction in Washington, DC that has crippled Congress’s ability to work together to solve the challenges facing Montana. It includes a total ban on Congressional stock trading, lifetime lobbying bans for members of Congress after they leave office, mandatory financial disclosure for Congress and the Supreme Court, term and age limits, an end to gerrymandering, and eliminating dark money in American politics.

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.
