15. Mr. Monk and the Election

Natalie's campaign for a seat on the school board is marred first by a sniper attack on her campaign headquarters, which barely misses her and leaves a security guard dead, and later by a grenade thrown through her living room window. Suspicion falls first on Harold Krenshaw ( Tim Bagley ), Natalie's opponent and another of Dr. Kroger's patients, but Monk suspects that the culprit's motive may go beyond local politics. Also stars Nick Offerman.
