2022 House Election - Montana
Other RacetotheWH Forecast & Interactives
For the first time since the 1990s, Montana has a second Congressional District. The MT-1 district is western-based and favors the Republican party by 12%. Republicans have nominated Ryan Zinke, a former Montana Congressman who served as President Trump’s Secretary of the Interior. Democrats have nominated Monica Tranel, a form Olympian who previously ran for the Montana Public Service Commission.
If Republican Ryan Zinke wins, the margin could be telling for future elections, because the MT-1 contains some favorable turf for Democrats, including Missoula, Gallatin, Flathead, and Glacier, which has a large Native American populace. Those are some of the fastest-growing areas of the state, which could potentially make the district more competitive by the end of the decade.
