The Constitution Party of Montana is a third party. It was founded as the American Heritage Party state affiliate for Montana by Michael Heit of Elmo, Montana, but changed its name in 2000[1]. It was a state-party affiliate of the national Constitution Party until it disaffiliated from the national party in July of 2006[2]. It is one of four ballot-qualified parties in Montana. In 2006, Rick Jore, running for House District 12, became the first party member to get elected to the state legislature. With Republicans controlling the Montana House by a slim margin of 50-49, Jore obtained an unexpected amount of political leverage, and was later appointed chairman of the House Education Committee[1].
