Context: 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. 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 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. The 2000 Montana gubernatorial election took place on November 7, 2000.  Incumbent Governor of Montana Marc Racicot, who was first elected in 1992 and was re-elected in 1996, was unable to seek re-election due to term limits.  Judy Martz, the Lieutenant Governor of Montana under Racicot for four years, won the Republican primary and advanced to the general election, where she faced Mark O'Keefe, the Montana State Auditor and Democratic nominee.  Despite the fact that George W. Bush, the Republican nominee for president in 2000, won the state in a landslide, the race between Martz and O'Keefe was close.  However, Martz managed to narrowly defeat him to win her first and only term as governor.  As of 2017, this is the most recent election in which a Republican was elected Governor of Montana. The 1972 Montana gubernatorial election took place on November 7, 1972.  Incumbent Governor of Montana Forrest H. Anderson, who was first elected in 1968, declined to seek re-election.  Thomas Lee Judge, the Lieutenant Governor of Montana, won a competitive Democratic primary, and moved on to the general election, where he faced Ed Smith, a rancher and the Republican nominee.  Although then-President Richard Nixon won the state in a landslide in that year's presidential election, Judge managed to handily defeat Smith, winning his first of two terms as governor. 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. The 1980 Montana gubernatorial election took place on November 4, 1980.  Incumbent Governor of Montana Thomas Lee Judge, who was first elected in 1972 and was re-elected in 1976, ran for re-election.  However, he faced a stiff challenge in the Democratic primary from his lieutenant governor, Ted Schwinden, and he ultimately lost renomination.  Schwinden, advancing to the general election, faced Jack Ramirez, the Minority Leader of the Montana House of Representatives and the Republican nominee.  Despite the fact that Ronald Reagan, the Republican presidential nominee, won the state in a landslide that year, Schwinden managed to comfortably defeat Ramirez to win his first of two terms as governor. 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. Roy Brown (born February 16, 1951 in Casper, Wyoming) is a former Montana State Senator from Billings, Montana Senate District 25.  He served four terms in the Montana House of Representatives and was elected to the State Senate in 2007.  He was the Republican nominee for the Governor seat in Montana with Steve Daines in 2008.  In 2010, Representative Kendall Van Dyk defeated Brown in the general election. 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.
