Republican Julie Dooling scored an easy victory over Democrat Jon Jackson in her bid for a third term as representative of Montana’s House District 70.
Unofficial returns with all precincts counted from Tuesday’s general election, showed Dooling with 2,750 votes compared with 598 for Jackson, a triumph of 82-18 percent.
Dooling owns and operates a small cattle ranch and farm in the Helena Valley with her husband and a son. She was first elected to the House in 2018 and was re-elected in 2020. She is employed as an investment planner by an investment company in Helena.
During both her first and second terms in the House, she served on the agriculture, transportation and state administration committees. She has also served on the interim state administration and veterans’ affairs committee.
Jackson is a retired Montana National Guard officer. He began as an enlisted man and rose to the grade of colonel over a 39-year military career before retirement. His duties included service as financial officer for both the Montana Air National Guard and Army National Guard.
The district covers all of Broadwater County and a small part of eastern Lewis and Clark County.
