The career arc of Ryan Zinke continues to chart a fascinating course.
After retiring as a Navy SEAL, Zinke represented the town of Whitefish as a moderate Republican in the Montana legislature. After losing a 2012 bid to be lieutenant governor, Zinke ran hard to the right and successfully won Montana's statewide congressional seat in 2014.
His new far-right perspective caught the eye of Donald Trump, who appointed Zinke Secretary of the Interior. But his time in the Trump administration was plagued by scandal.

The Western Seat may have enough Missoula Tree Huggers to tilt it blue.

(9,686 posts)I've about had it with the yearly invasion of the legislature. Every recent session has outdone the previous one in terms of whack-a-doodleness. This year is especially vile.
