Tim Racicot is acting U.S. Attorney in Montana

With the sudden resignation of U.S. Attorney Kurt Alme on Wednesday in order to run for Republican Steve Daines’ seat in the U.S. Senate, First Assistant U.S. Attorney Tim Racicot is acting in the top law enforcement role for the state, according to the U.S. Attorney’s website.

Racicot was named in the acting position for much of 2025, following the resignation of Jesse Laslovich when President Donald Trump took office for his second term.

Acting U.S. Attorney Racicot is a career prosecutor who became an Assistant U.S. Attorney in October 2005 and has served as First Assistant U.S. Attorney in Montana since 2022.

Racicot received an undergraduate degree from Carroll College and a law degree from the University of Notre Dame.
