Is Brad Johnson Even Running for the PSC?

in Montana Politics

On the heels of Brad Johnson’s arrest news, some more bad news for the candidate for the District 5 PSC seat: he hasn’t raised any money:

Bill Gallagher, a Helena attorney running in Western Montana’s District 5, reported Thursday that he’s raised $13,800 in campaign funds through Sunday, including $7,000 of his own money.
That’s almost seven times the amount raised by his Republican primary opponent, former Montana Secretary of State Brad Johnson, who had garnered only $2,100 in campaign funds, including $1,500 from his own pocket.

While it’s fair to say that no one is raising a ton of money for these primaries, Johnson’s case seems exceptional. He’s a former statewide officeholder for the GOP, the kind of person you’d expect to be able to raise at least a little coin.

Of course, looking at Johnson’s web site might have led prospective donors to reconsider.

Wish Brad was running in my district. I'd be damn tempted to cross over and vote for the guy. Can you imagine the stomping he'd get from Toole in the general!?!

After you made fun of the color-blind tech who created Marbut's website, I read your comment here and figured you were turning into an Internet snob. Then I looked at Johnson's website — if that's what it is. In this day and age, that is an amazing sight. It's like sleeping under a bridge when everybody else has a penthouse suite.

With havin so much content and articles do you ever run into any problems of plagorism or copyright violation? My website has a lot of exclusive content I’ve either created myself or outsourced but it seems a lot of it is popping it up all over the internet without my agreement. Do you know any methods to help reduce content from being stolen? I’d genuinely appreciate it.
