Centrist Independent Voter has endorsed independent candidate Seth Bodnar for the U.S. Senate in Montana.

Bodnar combines military service, executive leadership, and a strong commitment to restoring Congress’s constitutional role. He has also built an unusually broad coalition, with support from both prominent Republicans and Democrats.

The endorsement also addresses the central challenge facing independent candidates: the spoiler problem. In Montana, recent polling and bipartisan support suggest Bodnar may actually be the strongest alternative to Trump-aligned Republican Kurt Alme.

The independent candidate is not automatically the spoiler. Sometimes the strategic vote is the independent one.
