Republican U.S. House candidates say they're the Conservative alternatives

Five Republican candidates are vying to be Montana's next representative in the U.S. House.  

That crowded field of congressional hopefuls in this year's primary includes state Senator Matt Rosendale of Glendive, former state Senator Corey Stapleton of Billings, state Senator Elsie Arntzen of Billings, Drew Turiano of Helena and former state Senator Ryan Zinke of Whitefish.

We've already provided a profile of Zinke. Matt Rosendale did not respond to our interview requests.

Edward O'Brien brings us this profile of Stapleton, Arntzen and Turiano.  

Edward O’Brien first landed at Montana Public Radio three decades ago as a news intern while attending the UM School of Journalism. He covers a wide range of stories from around the state.
