BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) — Montana Democrat Monica Tranel is seeking to challenge U.S. Rep. Ryan Zinke in 2024 after losing a close contest last year to the former Trump administration Cabinet member. Tranel announced her bid on Monday for the Democratic nomination for the state’s western House district. The environmental attorney from Missoula says corporations have too much influence over Zinke and other Republicans. She hopes to appeal to moderate voters after the GOP dominated recent elections in Montana. Zinke resigned from former President Donald Trump’s Cabinet amid multiple ethics investigations and was elected to the House last year. The primary is June 4.
