Jefferson County residents had an opportunity to listen to the views of three candidates running for the Senate District 38 seat in the Montana Legislature during an April 29 forum, sponsored by The Boulder Monitor.
Jane Hamman of Clancy and Jim Buterbaugh of Whitehall, are competing in the June 2 primary for the Republican nomination, and both are hoping to unseat incumbent Democrat Edith “Edie” McClafferty. McClafferty, of Butte, is seeking a second term in the Senate, and is the only Democratic candidate for the June primary. The primary winners will be on the Nov. 3 ballot.
Senate District 38 covers Jefferson County and a portion of Butte-Silver Bow.
