"Oath Keepers' Son: From Trauma to Triumph in Long Shot Election Bid"

Dakota Adams, the son of Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes, is running for the Montana Legislature as a Democrat, aiming to share his story of overcoming a traumatic childhood and his vision for democracy. Adams, who escaped his father's control in 2018, is working in construction, taking college classes, and volunteering as a firefighter. Despite the district's strong Republican leanings, he believes his campaign can help change perspectives and plans to sell his former anti-government protest gear.
