Senator John Walsh
American Politician
John Walsh enlisted in the National Guard as a private, working hard and rising through the ranks to become adjutant general, leading the Montana National Guard.
As a battalion commander, John led more than 700 men and women overseas to Iraq in the largest deployment of Montana National Guard soldiers and airmen since WWII. During his time as adjutant general, John championed the Yellow Ribbon program, an initiative that provides valuable resources to National Guard members and their families at all stages of their deployment and ensures Guard members get their well-earned services and benefits when they return home.
After 33 years of distinguished service, John retired from the National Guard and was elected by the people of Montana to the office of Lieutenant Governor, serving with Governor Steve Bullock. As Montana’s 30th Lieutenant Governor, John Walsh fought to balance the budget, enact tax cuts for small businesses, invest in Montana’s schools, and toughen laws against child abuse.
Walsh served as junior Senator for Montana from 2014 to 2015. He is running for the Senate in the 2020 elections.
