WASHINGTON -- Greg Gianforte, a tech entrepreneur whose foundation donated to a creationist dinosaur museum, filed paperwork this week for an exploratory campaign to run for governor of Montana.
Gianforte, who could be among the Republicans seeking to unseat Gov. Steve Bullock (D) next year, sold his software company RightNow Technologies to Oracle for about $1.5 billion in 2012. Since then, he has pushed his Better Montana Jobs initiative, which aims to promote high-wage employment.
