AM 1450 KMMS host Aaron Flint has announced he’ll seek a spot in Congress from the state of Montana.
Flint — who hosts Montana Talks, the morning show on the Townsquare Media Bozeman news/talk station — will seek to replace Rep. Ryan Zinke in the U.S. Congress. Zinke has announced that he will retire from his position in the legislature when his term ends.
Before embarking on his radio career, Aaron Flint served as a lieutenant colonel in the U.S. Army Reserve, completing tours in Iraq and Afghanistan, among others. He also worked as the State Director for Zinke’s Congressional offices in Montana, as well as the communications director for now Gov. Greg Gianforte during his campaign.
After Zinke’s announcement that he would not seek reelection, he endorsed Flint as his replacement. Flint also received the endorsement of President Donald Trump.
“It is my Great Honor to endorse Aaron Flint, who is running to represent the tremendous people of Montana’s 1st Congressional District,” Trump wrote in a Truth Social post. “Aaron is a MAGA Warrior, who is strongly supported by many of the Greatest America First Patriots in Montana, including Sen. Tim Sheehy, Congressmen Ryan Zinke and Troy Downing, and Gov. Greg Gianforte, among others!”
