Question: Roy Browns running mate in the 2008 Montana gubernatorial election won his current senate seat by defeating what democrat?
Context: The 1936 Montana gubernatorial election took place on November 3, 1936.  Incumbent Governor of Montana Elmer Holt, who became governor in 1935 upon the death of Frank Henry Cooney, ran for re-election.  He was challenged in the Democratic primary by a number of challengers, and was narrowly defeated for renomination by United States Congressman Roy E. Ayers of Montana's 2nd congressional district.  Ayers advanced to the general election, where he faced Frank A. Hazelbaker, the former Lieutenant Governor of Montana and the Republican nominee.  Following a close election, Ayers narrowly defeated Hazelbaker to win what would be his first and only term as governor. Christiandy Sanjaya (Hanzi: 黃漢山, Hanyu Pinyin: "Huáng Hànshān", Hakka: "Bong Hon Sham", born 29 March 1964) is the incumbent Deputy Governor of West Kalimantan since 14 January 2008.  He was elected to the post together with his running mate, incumbent Governor Cornelis, after winning the 2007 gubernatorial election.  They were re-elected for the second term on the 2012 gubernatorial election. William J. Maguire (June 12, 1916 – October 2, 1997) was an American Republican Party politician who served in the New Jersey General Assembly from 1976 to 1982.  He served as Mayor of Clark, New Jersey and as a Union County Freeholder.  Maguire was elected to the State Assembly in 1975, running with future Governor Donald DiFrancesco; they defeated incumbent Democrat Betty Wilson and her running mate, William A. Wolf, the Rahway Democratic Municipal Chairman.  He was re-elected in 1977.  Following the resignation of State Senator Peter J. McDonough in 1979, Maguire ran for the State Senate, but lost a vote of a Republican convention to DiFrancesco.  He was re-elected to the Assembly, with future Congressman Bob Franks as his running mate.  Maguire's political career came to an end in 1981, when redistricting traded Democratic towns in Union County for solid Republican towns in Essex County.  DiFrancesco was facing a primary challenge from an Essex County Republican; to secure the Essex organization line in a district where Republican primary election voters were evenly split between Essex and Union, DiFrancesco agreed to put an Essex Republican on his ticket.  John Renna, the Essex Republican Chairman, preferred that Franks (who had worked on Renna's 1977 bid for County Chairman), get the second Assembly seat.  Maguire, replaced by Millburn Mayor Maureen Ogden, did not run for re-election. Nicole Poolman is a Republican member of the North Dakota Senate, representing the 33rd district.  Poolman was first elected in 2012, defeating Democrat Warren Emmer.  In the 2016 North Dakota gubernatorial election, she was chosen the running mate for Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem.  Poolman currently works as a high school English teacher in Bismarck. The 1996 Montana gubernatorial election took place on November 5, 1996.  Incumbent Governor of Montana Marc Racicot, who was first elected in 1992, ran for re-election.  After winning the Republican primary against a conservative activist, he moved on to the general election, where he was set to face Chet Blaylock, a former State Senator and the Democratic nominee.  However, on October 23, 1996, Blaylock died of a heart attack, and the Montana Democratic Party selected his running mate, State Senator Judy Jacobson, to replace him as the gubernatorial nominee, and she therefore appeared on the ballot as both the gubernatorial nominee and the lieutenant gubernatorial nominee.  Ultimately, however, Racicot was able to defeat Jacobson in a landslide to win re-election to his second and final term as governor. The 1988 North Dakota gubernatorial election took place on November 8, 1988 to elect the Governor of North Dakota.  Incumbent Democratic Governor George A. Sinner was re-elected to a second term with 58% of the vote, defeating Republican nominee Leon Mallberg, a businessman and "anti-tax crusader" and his running mate Donna Nalewaja.  Lloyd Omdahl, who had been appointed Lieutenant Governor of North Dakota in 1987 after the death of Ruth Meiers, was elected on the ticket.  As of 2017, is the most recent election in which a Democrat was elected Governor of North Dakota. The United States presidential election of 1996 was the 53rd quadrennial presidential election.  It was held on Tuesday, November 5, 1996.  The Democratic national ticket was led by incumbent President Bill Clinton, and his running mate, incumbent Vice President Al Gore.  The Republican nominee for President was Bob Dole, the former Republican Leader of the United States Senate and long-time Senator from Kansas who was previously the vice-presidential running mate of President Gerald Ford in 1976, following Vice President Nelson Rockefeller's retirement from politics that year.  Dole's running mate for Vice President was Jack Kemp, a former NFL football player and the Housing Secretary under George H. W. Bush.  Businessman Ross Perot ran as candidate for the Reform Party with economist Pat Choate as his running mate; he received less media attention and was excluded from the presidential debates and, while still obtaining substantial results for a third-party candidate, by U.S. standards, did not renew his success of the 1992 election.  Turnout was registered at 49.0%, the lowest for a presidential election since 1924. The 1988 Montana gubernatorial election took place on November 8, 1988.  Incumbent Governor of Montana Ted Schwinden, who was first elected in 1980 and was re-elected in 1984, declined to seek re-election to a third term, creating an open seat.  Stan Stephens, the former President of the Montana Senate, won a close Republican primary, and advanced to the general election, where he was opposed by Thomas Lee Judge, Schwinden's predecessor as governor and the Democratic nominee.  Though the general election was hotly contested, Stephens ultimately defeated Judge, becoming the first Republican to win a gubernatorial election in Montana since 1964. The 2008 Montana gubernatorial election was held on November 4, 2008 to elect the governor and lieutenant governor of the U.S. state of Montana.  Incumbent governor Brian Schweitzer, a Democrat who was elected to his first four-year term in 2004, was elected to a second term with 65.5 per cent of the vote.  John Bohlinger, a Republican and the incumbent lieutenant governor, was once again Schweitzer's running mate, and was re-elected to a second term.  The Republican nominee was Roy Brown, a member of the Montana Senate.  Brown's running mate was businessman, and future U.S. Representative and U.S. Senator, Steve Daines. Steven David Daines (born August 20, 1962) is an American businessman, entrepreneur, and the junior United States Senator from Montana.  He was the United States Representative for Montana's at-large congressional district from 2013 to 2015.  In the 2014 election, he won an open U.S. Senate seat, defeating Democrat Amanda Curtis.
