MT-HD01: Dakota Adams goes from extremist militia upbringing to progressive Dem in red district

In the Lincoln County High School auditorium in Eureka on Wednesday, Montana State Rep. Neil Duram and Dakota Adams introduced themselves to a small audience ahead of a candidate forum led by the school’s civics class.

Duram, the Republican incumbent, talked about his career in law enforcement and his work during the last three legislative sessions.

Adams, his Democratic challenger, introduced himself as a construction worker and rural firefighter, and the oldest of six children whose family moved to Trego — a town of 500 in Lincoln County — “to survive the apocalypse. That did not happen, which is why I’m still here.”

“I think that’s all the relevant biography, unless I’ve forgotten anything,” Adams said to a few chuckles from the audience.

For a low profile Montana State House race in which the incumbent is expected to win by a wide margin, Adams has drawn outsized notoriety based on his life’s story.
