MT Democrat Gopher to compete in U.S. House race

A third Montana Democrat is joining the race for the U.S. House of Representatives.

Blackfeet tribal member Melinda Gopher is a writer and blogger seeking her first political office.

The 44-year old joins former MT Democratic Party Chairman Dennis McDonald and Missoula lawyer Tyler Gernant in seeking the party's nomination to run against incumbent Dennis Rehberg.

A statement on Gopher's Twitter page says she will officially announce her candidacy in the Great Falls area on Saturday.
