In an effort to help those of our Montana subscribers as they head for the polls on June 7th or as they complete their absentee ballots, Last Chance Patriots has gathered candidate recommendations from around the state. These recommendations have been prepared by organizations that we believe are committed to electing conservative, constitutionally-adherent, common-sense candidates. As you scroll through the newsletter you can click on the organization's logo to see their recommendations.

Because our readers represent all areas of the state, Last Chance Patriots chooses not to endorse candidates in local races, but rather give you the recommendations or endorsements of trusted groups that have had the time to dedicate to vetting local candidates. However, we are strongly endorsing Al Olszewski for the new congressional seat in HD 1. This race is critical, not only for Montana but for the entire country because it will play an important role in determining whether the Republicans can recover the majority in the US House of Representatives. Please read our analysis of this important race elsewhere in the newsletter.

The main thing to remember in this Primary election is that every vote is important in a Primary because we must assure that only the very best candidates move on to the General election. Please don’t dismiss this election as not as important as the General. Step up to the plate and cast a vote for a candidate that you believe in or you might not find your choice on the ballot in November. 

Also, as individual voters, we must be on the lookout for malfeasance and report anything that seems suspicious to election authorities. Our election process is under siege and we must all be on guard against tampering of any sort.

Last Chance Patriots strongly endorse Al Olszewski for US HD 1. Dr. Al needs to win this primary because he can beat any Democrat in November. Dr. Al has no baggage to make him vulnerable to attacks from the Democrats.

Ryan Zinke is already being targeted by the Democrats for his California residency, for his failure to perform when Montana sent him to Congress last time, and for the questionable reasons that he resigned from his position as Interior Secretary. Don’t be fooled by President Trump’s endorsement of Zinke; it likely has more to do with Zinke’s friendship with Donald Trump, Jr. than with Trump’s gratitude for the stellar job he did in his short-lived position as Interior Secretary.

Choose wisely, Montana Republicans, because we need this seat to be aligned with Matt Rosendale, not at odds with him.

Only the candidates that have been fully vetted and approved by the Lake County Republican Central Committee are listed below! In a few cases, the vetting committee has narrowed the selection down but is leaving the choice to the voters. 

The LCRCC vetting committee has not vetted the candidates that are running unopposed on your ballots except for the State Senate and House District Candidates. The LCRCC does not have an opinion on the ballot issues.
