Monica Tranel writes, "Property taxes have shifted the burden onto families while the state sits on a surplus, uniquely impacting homeowners in HD 92 and legacy Montana family cabins in the beautiful Seeley and Swan valleys."

In a post on social media platform X, Zinke thanked supporters and congratulated fellow republicans Tim Sheehy and Troy Downing on their statewide victories.

Jim Edwards writes, "While each Tranel is an overachiever, Monica is the most remarkable of all. Unlike Zinke, a Congresswoman Tranel will make ALL Montanan’s proud."

Internal polling done through the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee shows Tranel and Zinke neck-and-neck.

The polling was conducted during the last two weeks of August - before Sheehy had a slew of negative news including a false claim of training in Glacier National Park, questionable business decisions, and making disparaging comments about the Crow people.

After the 2020 census, Montana earned a second U.S. House seat, and Zinke won the western Congressional district in 2022. He took 49.6% of the vote, Tranel took 46.5%.
