Races set for Montana primary
As featured in JP Election Brief: Heading south with news from Louisiana, Alabama, Florida and Texas on March 15, 2012.
Monday was the filing deadline for the primary election in Montana. Voters will pick two Montana Supreme Court justices this year, one open seat and one incumbent running.
For Seat Number 5, three candidates will compete to succeed James Nelson. Laurie McKinnon is the only judge who filed, and attorneys Ed Sheehy and Elizabeth Best will face off on June 5, 2012. The two candidates who receive the most votes will advance to the general election. Since only two candidates have filed for Number 6, they will only compete on November 6. This is the seat of Justice Brian Morris, who is seeking his second term on the court. He is challenged by Hertha L. Lund, an attorney from Bozeman. [4]
In addition to the Supreme Court, there are thirty-two District Court races in Montana this year. To see a full list of candidates, visit:
