Meet Your House District 13 Candidate
I’m Dalton Bradford and I’m running to be your House Representative in District 13 for the 2027 Montana Legislature. My family has been here in Montana and Polson for many generations. I’m a proud descendant of the Confederated Salish & Kootenai Tribes. I grew up here, actively participated in school sports, and graduated from Polson High School. I’m running in this election because for too long, we in Lake County have sent representatives to Helena to hopefully convey our aspirations and concerns, and for too long, they have fallen short in delivering results for us. Our children, educators, farmers, healthcare workers, and ranchers are continuously neglected by those we’ve sent to Helena. Now is the time we change that. Vote for Dalton Bradford, a candidate for The People, not the party. One of my main reasons for running in this election is because I feel, like many of you, that we as a whole aren’t being properly represented. I sincerely believe that bi-partisanship is vitally important in today’s increasingly partisan world. I want to hear from each and every one of you; even those of you who might think we don’t agree on anything solely based on the fact that I have a “D” after my name. This election is NOT about politics as usual for me; I’ve never run or even been directly involved with an election before now. This election is about doing what Helena politicians haven’t done in quite some time: listening to everyone, from the 1st and 5th generation Montanans, to Tribal members, and doing my level best to represent your beliefs without worrying about party-line voting. Allow me to earn your trust and your vote. Send a voice that cares to Helena.
Please contact me. I want to hear from you.

A big thank you to Montana’s and Lake County’s union members, I genuinely appreciate your trust and support.
