Comprehensive coverage-Montana 2020 Elections

Coverage of the COVID-19 pandemic in Madison County interrupted The Madisonian’s coverage of the 2020 gubernatorial race. But the primary elections are nearing and our election coverage returns. In January, we asked Madison County residents what issues they wanted gubernatorial candidates to address. A novel coronavirus has since changed life in Montana, as everywhere, and dominated the conversation. But the issues close to Madison County residents pre-COVID-19 remain. A dispute over Montana’s public lands continues, a shortage of affordable housing remains across many parts of the state, grizzly bear conflicts are on the rise and rural healthcare remains a topic of conversation amid the pandemic.

Gubernatorial candidates Tim Fox, Whitney Williams, Al Olszewski, Greg Gianforte and Mike Cooney respond to Madison County residents’ top concerns. Another story on Montana's Republican Governor Candidate, Greg Gianforte, may be found here.

Madison County office seats, including County Commissioner positions, are discussed here and a County Commissioner Q&A can be found here.
