Since last September, Montana voters have heard various accusations lobbed against Tim Sheehy, a Trump-endorsed GOP Senate hopeful running to unseat Sen. Jon Tester (D-MT): He’s “shady,” a “so-called businessman,” and “cashing in on Communist China,” according to a flurry of political ads running in the Treasure State.
The GOP primary ad buys were snagged by Last Best Place, a recently formed super political action committee that, under federal law, is allowed to raise and spend unlimited amounts of money supporting or opposing candidates, Federal Election Commission records show. But the ads are technically thanks to Majority Forward, a nonprofit organization tied to Senate Majority PAC, the main outside group working to elect Democrats to the upper chamber and affiliated with Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY).
