Christi Jacobsen has been declared the winner of the race for Montana’s Secretary of State by the AP with 62% of the vote. Jacobsen, the Republican incumbent, was sworn into office on January 4, 2021, and has an extensive background in state government. Her opponent, Democrat Jesse Mullen, is a business owner and entrepreneur who founded Mullen Newspaper Company and owns Browsing Bison Books in Deer Lodge. Mullen received 35% of the vote in the election, with John Lamb trailing at 3%. The results show a clear victory for Jacobsen, who has experience as an administrator in the State Auditor’s office and the State Department of Justice, as well as serving as the chief of staff for the previous Secretary of State, Corey Stapleton. With Jacobsen’s win, she will continue to serve as Montana’s Secretary of State and oversee key state functions related to elections, business registration, and notary services. This victory solidifies Jacobsen’s position in Montana’s political landscape and affirms her ongoing commitment to serving the people of the state in her role as Secretary of State.
