Hill sets up general election race vs. Steinmetz in Bachmeier's district

Havre Public School board member Ed Hill of Havre filed Thursday as a Republican candidate for House District 28, which is currently held by Rep. Jacob Bachmeier, D-Havre, in the upcoming election.

Boys & Girls Club of the Hi-Line Marketing and Events Director Krystal Steinmetz of Havre previously filed as a Democratic Candidate for the election shortly after Bachmeier announced he would not be running for re-election.

In Chouteau County, in the race for public administration, Jodie Butler of Carter filed this week as a Democrat. Incumbent Democrat Karen Brooke had not filed for re-election as of print deadline this morning.
