BOZEMAN - At least three of the five Republican U.S. Senate candidates are expected Wednesday at a forum in Bozeman.

It may be the only time the candidates will appear in a debate-like setting before the June 3 primary election. A Bozeman Republican group, the Big Sky Pachyderm Club, is hosting the forum.

The club's Matt Monforton says candidates Kirk Bushman, Michael Lange and Anton Pearson are expected for the event, which begins at noon at the Holiday Inn in Bozeman.

Bushman, Lange and Pearson are vying for the Republican nomination to challenge Democratic U.S. Sen. Max Baucus, who is running for a sixth consecutive term.

The other two Republican candidates in the race are Missoula accountant Patty Lovaas and Butte attorney Bob Kelleher.
