Wilmot Collins, a Liberian refugee and Montana's first black mayor, launches bid for U.S. Senate seat.
Wilmot Collins, the Liberian refugee who surged into national headlines in 2017 after becoming Montana's first and only black mayor is launching a bid for higher office, officially filing paperwork with the FEC to run for the U.S. Senate seat currently held by incumbent GOP Sen. Steve Daines.
On Nov. 7, 2017, Collins toppled four-term incumbent Jim Smith to become Helena's first black mayor – in a city where African Americans make up less than one percent of the population, according to a 2010 U.S. census – 20 years after first arriving in the United States. After settling in Montana, Collins joined the U.S. Navy Reserve and worked as a child protection specialist with the Montana Department of Health and Human Services before launching his unlikely bid for mayor.
