Montana U . S . House Candidates discuss policies , energy
In North Dakota, Rep. Matt Rosendale of Montana is not seeking re-election, paving the way for a new representative. The primary election saw thirteen candidates, narrowing down to Republican Troy Downing and Democrat John Driscoll for the general election. Downing, serving as the state auditor and commissioner of securities and insurance, has expressed his support for the fossil fuels industry and his opposition to ESG strategies. He criticized Driscoll s stance on transitioning railroad operators from traditional energy sources to nuclear and electric power. On the other hand, Driscoll, a former state House majority leader and speaker, supports nuclear energy and believes in repurposing engines to maintain rail transport relevance amidst the shift towards renewable energy. He acknowledges the potential impact of climate change on railroads and emphasizes the need for dialogue between both sides to address border security issues, rather than using it as a political tool. Both candidates agree that more needs to be done to secure the southern border, with Downing emphasizing national security concerns, while Driscoll advocates for open discussions to find improvements. The general election will determine who will represent North Dakota in Congress, with Downing and Driscoll presenting differing perspectives on energy, climate change, and border security.
