Oath Keepers Founder's Son Runs for Montana Legislature in Democratic Bid

Dakota Adams, estranged son of Stewart Rhodes, seeks to redefine his legacy through a challenging political campaign in a deeply Republican district.

Dakota Adams, the estranged son of Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes, is running for the Montana Legislature as a Democrat, aiming to share his unique story and vision for democracy.
Adams' campaign in the Republican stronghold of northwestern Montana is seen as a long shot, but he believes it's an opportunity to engage with voters who might be open to different perspectives.
Having grown up in a household marked by paranoia and isolation, Adams is now selling his tactical gear and focusing on education, community service, and political involvement.
Despite the challenges, Adams is committed to his campaign, drawing on his personal experiences to connect with voters on practical issues like housing costs and property taxes.
Adams acknowledges the difficulty of his bid but is determined to keep trying, viewing his campaign as a lifelong commitment to public service.
