It's something we've expected for quite some time, so I'm glad to finally see it happen: Montana's Democratic Attorney General Steve Bullock has launched his campaign for governor. Below is his welcome video:
Though one or two names are still considering the race, Bullock will almost certainly have the Democratic field to himself. The Republicans, meanwhile, have what looks to be a hotly contested primary, with ex-Rep. Rick Hill, national security consultant Neil Livingstone, former state GOP chair Ken Miller and ex-state Sen. Corey Stapleton all in the mix. This is going to be a top-tier gubernatorial contest, and Steve Bullock just gave us every chance to hope we can keep this seat in the blue column.
