As we head into the holiday season, local election politics are already heating up, and sadly, one of Montana’s most dependable and capable legislators—Representative David Bedey—is being targeted with distortions and misleading attacks. Outside dark money is already spending thousands to run an untrue but savage attack on Bedey on ION TV.
Bedey, now running for Senate District 43, has consistently delivered thoughtful, principled, and effective legislation for the Bitterroot Valley. His record speaks for itself.
Unfortunately, some of his opponents seem more focused on political theater than honest debate. Many Bitterroot residents have voiced concern that Kathy Love’s campaign relies heavily on photo-ops, image-building, and dramatic messaging rather than real accomplishments.
Her supporters may call it clever campaigning, but it doesn’t erase the fact that Bedey is the one who has put in the hard work, produced real results, and shown up for this valley time and again.
When voters look past the noise, the contrast is clear: David Bedey offers integrity, competence, and proven service, while others offer slogans and staged moments. Senate District 43 deserves the real thing—not a manufactured image.
