Bill D'Alton

Montana’s longest serving member of the state Supreme Court, Justice Jim Rice, has won reelection to the bench, according to a race call from the Associated Press. The AP called the race around 9 a.m. Wednesday.

Montana Republican Matt Rosendale won a second term in the U.S. House on Tuesday as he fended off a pair of challengers in the race for a newly drawn district representing the eastern portion of the state.

The court’s longest-serving member, Jim Rice, is running for a third 8 year term against Billings trial lawyer Bill D’Alton for a seat on the state’s high court.
