On Tuesday evening, Tim Sheehy, a candidate for the U.S. Senate from Montana, took the stage at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee to deliver a speech urging the need to “save America.” Sheehy was among several GOP Senate hopefuls who addressed the convention, each aiming to bolster their campaigns and rally support.
Sheehy’s candidacy is particularly significant for the Republican Party this year, as Montana’s Senate seat is a key target in their quest to regain control of the Senate. The GOP sees flipping this seat as crucial to their broader strategy.
During his speech, Sheehy drew upon his background, emphasizing his military service and business experience. He highlighted his time as a Navy officer in Afghanistan and his role in leading Bridger Aerospace, a company specializing in aerial firefighting and other services. These credentials, he suggested, positioned him as a candidate who understands both leadership and the needs of Montanans.
