## Resource

Montana’s 2026 races are heating up with a major cash infusion from national power players—Republican candidates Kurt Alme and Troy Downing are leading the pack, getting massive support from leadership PACs and party committees, including one tied to VP J.D. Vance. This institutional backing gives them a huge early edge over Democrats and independents, while Democratic hopeful Sam Forstag is getting targeted help through the DCCC and labor union donations—but it’s not enough to match the GOP’s coordinated, high-speed fundraising machine.
