Former Montana Gov. Brian Schweitzer (D) won a spot on the board of Montana's largest publicly traded company on Thursday, a move that could impact his thinking on whether to run for the Senate.

A group he was involved with that opposed the Stillwater Mining Co.'s focus on investing in Argentina won control of half of the company's board, a split decision after they were pushing for majority control. Though his side had initially rejected an offer to get the same number of board members without the vote, Schweitzer called the result a "huge victory."

The widow of former Senate president pro tempore Daniel Inouye (D-Hawaii) released a statement Friday backing Rep. Colleen Hanabusa in her Democratic primary challenge of Sen. Brian Schatz.

Schatz was appointed to the Senate by Gov. Neil Abercrombie after Inouye died last December, despite a letter from Inouye stating his preference that Hanabusa be appointed to his seat.

“Shortly after she was elected President of the Hawaii State Senate, Dan recognized that Colleen was more than capable of succeeding him and he began to mentor her,” Irene Hirano Inouye said in a statement. “His last wish was that Colleen serve out his term because he was confident in her ability to step into the Senate and immediately help Hawaii. I am honoring one of his last requests, and look forward to supporting Colleen on the campaign trail.”
