Democratic congressional candidate Monica Tranel is making waves in Montana's First Congressional District race with a notable change in her stance on the fentanyl crisis. Tranel, who is challenging Republican incumbent Rep. Ryan Zinke, has shifted her position on the issue from her previous statements.
During her initial congressional bid in 2022, Tranel downplayed the connection between the southern border and fentanyl trafficking, attributing the crisis to sources in China. However, in a recent campaign ad, Tranel appears to have adopted a tougher stance on border security and combating drug cartels.
