"It's Time to Clean Up Washington D.C."
Robert 'Bob' Candee is known for speaking these words. And Bob is known for taking action. Big Time.
Bob is running for Congress - but he's not asking you for money.
He knows how difficult the economy is right now. Bob asks only for your vote.

In addition to writing a “Homestead Act” to counteract the depopulation of rural Montana, Bob set up the “Bob Candee Scholarship program” in Richey and Forsyth. In an incredible show of support for area students, Bob has been awarding these scholarships for the past 19 years.
Along with the program Bob has also given scholarships in Miles City, Skyview, Colstrip and other
schools. These scholarships have been very rewarding for Bob because it gave him the opportunity to meet
great kids that you would never have known. He is very proud that the first recipient of his scholarship program
is now a doctor. (It pays to lead by example).
Widely known for his farming and grain expertise, Bob was appointed by Governor Schweitzer to the Montana Wheat and Barley Committee in 2005, that
year he also represented Montana at the U.S. Grains Council’s trade presentations in Tokyo, Japan.
Bob resigned this post so that he could run as a candidate for public office.
In 1996, Bob was chosen as a delegate to the first ever "National Issues Conference" in Austin, Texas.
Many issues, ranging from national defense to welfare,
were discussed. The conference was
hosted by then governor George W. Bush and Vice President Al Gore was there to represent President Clinton
along with Jim Lehrer, who was the moderator. The conference voted Bob “BEST INFORMED” of all the delegates.
Bob is a proud parent, with a daughter, two sons and three granddaughters.
