Aaron Flint wins Republican nomination for U.S. House in Montana's 1st Congressional District
Flint, an Army veteran and first-time candidate, won with early projections showing him ahead of three rivals, according to The Associated Press.
- Army veteran Aaron Flint captured the Republican nomination for Montana's 1st Congressional District on Tuesday, June 2, 2026, receiving 52% of the initial 39,000 votes counted.
- An open seat resulted from Rep. Ryan Zinke's March 2026 health-related retirement, which triggered a competitive four-way Republican primary field in Montana's 1st Congressional District.
- Endorsed by President Donald Trump, Flint emphasizes "making the Montana dream affordable again." He centers his platform on trades education and timber industry support with backing from Gov. Greg Gianforte and Rep. Troy Downing.
- Following his primary win, Flint advances to the general election on November 3, 2026, where he will face the Democratic nominee and Libertarian Nick Sheedy.
- The general election solidifies the race for western Montana's U.S. House representation, determining the successor to the seat formerly held by Zinke.
