Former firearms executive, author and Kalispell resident Ryan Busse tossed his hat in the ring for governor Thursday, possibly pitting him against Republican Gov. Greg Gianforte in November 2024. Busse, 53, who is running as a Democrat, said he decided to seek the office after watching Montana, in his view, decline under the Gianforte administration. 'I think that we face, in Montana, an existential crisis right now with Greg Gianforte and the Republican supermajority,' Busse said Sept. 14, shortly after announcing his campaign.
