On Jobs: My dad was a union man, and my roots are in unions

Walsh--who has two grown children with his wife, Janet, and a grandchild--said he is a Democrat owing to his roots in the union stronghold of Butte. "My dad was a pipefitter and was a strong labor man," Walsh said. "I was raised with the Democratic values, Montana Democratic values and I have carried those values on throughout my lifetime."

On Principles & Values: Washington incumbents are part of a broken system

Walsh said that his limited political experience will aid his run for the U.S. Senate. Walsh, the current Lieutenant Governor and former adjutant general, predicted his likely opponent--Daines--could have trouble because of his role in a Congress that shut down the government amid stalemate. "I don't know Congressman Daines real well. But I believe he is part of broken system back there," Walsh said. "I am a little disappointed that he hasn't stepped up to come up with a solution to the problem."
