Summary

Montana Republican Senate candidate Tim Sheehy has admitted lacking medical records to substantiate his claim of being shot in combat, a story he maintains despite conflicting accounts.

An ex-park ranger alleges Sheehy accidentally shot himself in 2015 while hiking in Glacier National Park, an incident Sheehy insists was a gun misfire that did not injure him.

Additional controversies surround Sheehy, including accusations of derogatory remarks about Crow Native Americans and scrutiny over financial practices at his former firefighting company.

Despite these issues, Sheehy leads the race against Democratic incumbent Jon Tester.
