Montana governor

Election: Nov 3, 2028Updated: Apr 10, 2026
safe rCook Political Report would likely rate this race as Safe Republican given Gianforte's 22-point victory margin in November 2024 and 56% approval rating in 2025

Montana is a Republican-leaning state where Democrats face structural disadvantages in statewide elections. Gianforte's reelection margin and approval ratings suggest the governorship is not competitive for 2028 absent major unforeseen developments. However, intra-Republican disputes over property tax policy and other issues suggest internal GOP divisions that could affect legislature composition.

Candidates TBD
