From Montana’s News Station:
The closest race going into next Tuesday’s election may be the race for attorney general.
Current Attorney General Mike McGrath cannot run for re-election because of term limits, and the race to succeed drew a lot more money and more attack advertising than usual.
Politically speaking, there’s a lot at stake when you elect a new attorney general. So it’s no wonder that the candidates and their respective parties want to win. For one thing, the attorney general has a wider range of responsibilities than the secretary of state, the state auditor or the superintendent of public instruction. As the state’s top law enforcer, the attorney general has both power and influence.
