Republican candidate for governor Greg Gianforte is pressuring local TV stations to stop running an ad that he says falsely calls him “a millionaire from New Jersey.”
Earlier this month, Gianforte’s attorneys sent a cease-and-desist letter to Montana broadcasters calling on stations to refuse to air what they call a false and misleading advertisement.
Here is the cease and desist letter written by James Bopp, who successfully challenged Montana’s truth in campaigning law as a First Amendment violation.
