Republican Senate candidate Tim Sheehy spoke to around 100 people in the St. Regis Senior Citizens Center last week.
The Bozeman resident shared why he is running for Congress, which he said was prompted by the chaotic and deadly withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan that took place approximately three years to the day that he spoke in Mineral County. 13 U.S. service members died in the terrorist attack at the Kabul airport on Aug. 26, 2021.
Sheehy is a retired Navy SEAL, and his wife served in the Marines after graduation from the Naval Academy.
