Montana to have its first state supreme court election since allowing political parties to contribute money to judicial candidates

One seat on the Montana Supreme Court is up for nonpartisan election on Nov. 3, 2026. Amy Eddy and Dan Wilson are running for the seat. Justice Beth Baker, who assumed office in 2011, is not seeking re-election.

Eddy and Wilson were the only two candidates who ran in the primary election for the seat on June 2, 2026. Eddy received 51.4% of the vote in the primary election, and Wilson received 48.6%.

Although the Montana Supreme Court is officially nonpartisan, Bolts described it as having a 4-3 liberal majority based on endorsements in previous elections, with Baker part of the liberal bloc. According to Bolts, Eddy is a liberal, and Wilson is a conservative.
