In 2020, Shane Morigeau tried to become the state auditor. This job involves checking how the state's money is spent. He won the Democratic Party's support for this role. However, he did not win the main election against another candidate.
Soon after that election, a state senator named Nate McConnell stepped down. A state senator is someone who helps make laws in the state's Senate. Nate McConnell thought Shane Morigeau would be a good replacement. So, the Missoula County Board of Commissioners officially chose Shane Morigeau. He then became a state senator for Montana.
