MONTANA - Monday will mark the first time since 2005 that Montana has had a Republican governor. The last Republican to hold the position was Judy Martz.
Current Governor, Steve Bullock, has been in office since 2013. His term will expire on Jan. 4 as he maxed out the number of years Montana allows somebody to be governor.Â
Montanans elected Greg Gianforte as their stateâs 25th governor on Nov. 3, 2020.
According to state data, Gianforte received more votes than any candidate for governor in Montana history. He also won with the largest margin for a first-term governor since 1920.
However, Gianforte is not the only state official being sworn in on Monday. Others being sworn in include: New Attorney General Republican Austin Knudsen; Republican Christi Jacobsen for Secretary of State and Republican Troy Downing for State Auditor.
