Conservative Republicans Bertoglio, McKenrick face off for HD75

Two conservative Republicans—one incumbent and one challenger—will face off in the June 7 primary election to see who will advance to November’s general election to represent Montana House District 75, which encompasses much of Jefferson County. The eventual nominee will be unchallenged in the general election; no Democrat filed to run.

Marta Bertoglio, 53, of Montana City, is running to retain the seat to which she was elected two years ago. Tim McKenrick, 57, of Boulder, is running against her.

The primary election is being conducted by in-person voting at polling places on June 7. The general election is Nov. 8. Legislators serve two-year terms that kick off with the Montana Legislature’s semi-annual spring sessions. The next session will be in 2023.
