Tim Sheehy PAC launches radio ad targeting Democratic-aligned group
Exclusive: Pro-Tim Sheehy Super PAC Launches Statewide Radio Ad Buy
A six-figure statewide radio ad buy is being launched by a pro-Tim Sheehy super PAC, targeting a Democratic-aligned group that has been attacking Sheehy in the primary.
“Have you seen an ad from Last Best Place PAC? The one’s calling America-first conservative Tim Sheehy ‘shady Sheehy,'” the radio ad says. “But the group airing the ad? Well, they’re the ones who are shady. That’s because Last Best Place PAC is tied to big-money Democrat donors. Why? Because Democrats are trying to interfere in the Republican primary to hurt pro-Trump Tim Sheehy and help liberal Jon Tester.”
The ad from More Jobs, Less Government PAC, the pro-Sheehy super PAC, highlights the extensive ties of Last Best Place PAC to Democrats while emphasizing Sheehy’s conservative record. In addition to the radio ad, mailers will also be sent out targeting the group.
Sheehy Leading the Republican Primary
Tim Sheehy is currently the main candidate running in the Republican primary and is considered the front-runner to challenge Sen. Jon Tester (D-MT). Although former Montana Secretary of State Brad Johnson has entered the race, he has gained little traction.
There is speculation that Rep. Matt Rosendale (R-MT) may also join the race, which Senate GOP leadership is not in favor of as they believe it could jeopardize their chances of winning the seat. Rosendale previously lost to Tester in 2018, and his entrance into the race would likely shake up the field, providing an opportunity for Democrats in the general election.
Last Best Place PAC’s Ties to Democrats
Last Best Place PAC has spent $2.6 million attacking Sheehy in the Republican primary, but its connections to Democrats are extensive. While the PAC has not disclosed its donors, filings reveal that its registered bank is Amalgamated Bank, which is used by the Democratic National Committee, the Democratic Governors Association, and other Democratic groups.
Records from the Federal Communications Commission show that Mountain Media Agency, a media buyer, purchased an ad for Last Best Place PAC. Interestingly, the address listed by Mountain Media is also used by Old Town Media, a media buyer utilized by some Democratic campaigns.
These connections suggest that Democrats may be attempting to interfere in the Republican primary, similar to their actions in the 2022 midterm elections, where they spent millions to boost Republicans in the primary whom they believed they could easily defeat.
A spokesperson for Last Best Place PAC did not respond to a request for comment.
