A Democrat running in a key Montana House race is being rebranded as a 'smokejumper' and working-class outsider despite having spent years lobbying for far-left groups, including organizations that oppose state-level bills restricting drag performances and LGBTQ+ rights. The candidate's past work as a registered lobbyist has raised questions about their claim to represent the interests of rural Montanans.
