ANNA RAU:

OK.

Well, they're both outsiders, political outsiders. But Rob Quist is a country bluegrass player. He played with the Mission Mountain Wood Band back in the '70s. He's very popular throughout the state for his music, but has absolutely no political experience.

And Greg Gianforte is a millionaire from Bozeman who made his money creating a great business in Montana that employed over 500 people. So he created all these high-wage jobs in the software business in Bozeman. So he has this kind of business acumen behind him, but, again, very little political experience. He did run for governor in November, but lost narrowly to Governor Bullock, who was the incumbent.

And I think there was a situation there where the whole ticket went red, except for the governor's race. So some of those Republicans actually crossed when they got to Gianforte and Bullock, and voted for Bullock.

So, that's been kind of a thing here too that Quist think he's got a shot, and Democrats think they have a shot because of what happened in the governor's race. So, it's kind of those two candidates, very colorful candidate.s
