Stephen Clark “Steve” Bullock (born April 11, 1966, age 60) is a lawyer, professor emeritus, and Democrat politician who is currently the governor of Montana, having been elected to the position in 2012 and re-elected in 2016. A left-winger, Bullock supports late-term abortion.[1]
Governor of Montana
2012 election
Bullock was elected to become the governor of Montana in the 2012 gubernatorial election, defeating his Republican opponent by less than 2% of the vote.[2]
2016 election
Gov. Bullock won re-election in the 2016 gubernatorial election with just over 50% of the vote in 2016,[3] despite Donald Trump having also won the state in a much larger margin.
Tenure
Despite claims of being a supposed “moderate” Democrat,[4][5] Bullock is a leftist who refused to sign a statewide "born alive" bill banning infanticide[6] out of pro-abortion stubbornness and who called for a federal minimum wage of $15/hour while hypocritcally having only paid his own interns $9/hour.[7]
2020 Senate run
After dropping out of the 2020 presidential race, Bullock later announced his run for U.S. Senate in the 2020 United States Senate election in Montana to attempt unseating current Republican one-term incumbent Steve Daines[8] despite previously insisting that he would not consider a bid for the seat.[9]
Bullock is backed by ActBlue.[10]
Democrat primary
Bullock won his party's primary election with over 90% of the vote.[11]
