Judge Dan Wilson Raises Over $113,000 in First Quarter of Supreme Court Campaign

July 2, 2025

Flathead District Court Judge Dan Wilson announced Tuesday that he has raised $113,859 in the first quarter since launching his campaign for the Montana Supreme Court, marking a strong start to his bid for the state’s highest bench.

Wilson, who entered the race in April, said the early support reflects widespread concern among Montanans about the direction of the judiciary.

“The response to my candidacy has been nothing short of overwhelming,” Wilson said in a statement. “At the Supreme Court, we are seeing impartiality and long-standing precedent yielding under the threat of judicial activism. Montanans want a Supreme Court committed to the Constitution for what it says and what it stands for – not molded to fit the agendas of special interests.”

The $113,000 haul represents more than a quarter of the total $409,000 Wilson raised during his 2024 campaign, underscoring early momentum in the open-seat race. He is seeking the seat being vacated by Justice Beth Baker, who announced she will retire at the end of her term.

Wilson, who has served as a district court judge since 2011, is positioning himself as a constitutional conservative with a focus on judicial restraint. The nonpartisan race is expected to draw statewide attention as Montanans decide on the future makeup of the high court.
