GOP Senator Forced To Make Emergency Landing After In-Flight Problem – usanews.net

Trump made his endorsement almost an hour after the deadline to file for candidacy in Montana had closed. According to the U.S. attorney’s office, Daines recommended Alme for the role of U.S. attorney in Montana to Trump.

Alme was unanimously confirmed in September 2017 and served until December 2020. Following that, he worked as Gianforte’s state budget director and recently held the position of executive vice president at the National Christian Foundation.

“We have made real progress under President Trump’s policies — prioritizing public safety, supporting law enforcement, and delivering results for Montanans,” Alme said in a statement to the Daily Montanan. “We need proven doers in Washington who will stand up for our values without apology. I’m running for Senate to be a relentless advocate for Montana and to help President Trump put America First.”
