Zinke, Juneau reach out to rural voters in first debate

It didn’t take long for U.S. Rep. Ryan Zinke and state Superintendent of Public Instruction Denise Juneau to spar over who is a bigger advocate for Indian Country in a debate held here Monday night.

In what tribal leaders said was the first debate between candidates for Montana’s lone seat in Congress held on the Fort Peck reservation, Juneau worked to characterize Zinke as out of touch with Montana’s tribes and the state as a whole, while Zinke said Juneau has lied about him and his record during this election cycle.
