General Discussion

During the primary, Bankhead condemned dark money spending in the primary race, focusing on the political action committees supporting Alme that sought to elevate Neill as a better Democratic candidate.

Asked by the Daily Montanan if the campaign also opposed the Progressive Vet PAC spending on her behalf, a Bankhead spokesperson at the time said that while the PAC was reflective of the campaign’s values, “We believe that Montanans deserve to get the campaign messages directly from the candidate, not from corporate PACs that often have more manipulative motivations.”
