2016 MT Governor's race: on Principles & Values


Bill McChesney: Served in state legislature from 2007 until 2015

Bill McChesney, a former Miles City representative, filed his paperwork with the Secretary of State's office; he lists Mike Anderson as his running mate.

McChesney, 67, served in the state House from 2007 to 2015. He lost a 2014 election for state Senate to Republican Eric Moore.

McChesney donated $50 this year to Bullock's re-election campaign, according to records from the state Commissioner of Political Practice's office. He also donated $150 to Bullock's 2012 campaign.

Mark Perea: Americans lose liberty at hands of federal government

In one word, Perea's campaign message is liberty. In his eyes, Americans are losing their liberty at the hands of the federal government. And he does not think much of Congress, including the Republican caucus. "I think it's the state's responsibility to pick up the mantle of freedom and fight and make sure the federal government stays within its bounds," Perea said. "Congress has a very low approval rating right now, and I think the reason why is they go up there and forget where they come from."
