With the biggest war chest, and the most name recognition, Congressman Steve Daines has a clear edge over his opponents Champ Edmunds and Susan Cundiff in the Republican U.S. Senate primary.

Now he wants to win the Senate seat, long held by democrat Max Baucus, back for the Republican party.
In this feature interview, Daines talks with News Director Sally Mauk about his campaign - and about some of the current issues facing Congress.
