Tester ads are insulting

July 16, 2024 by Guest Post

by Terrie Wilfong, Stevensville

​​Tester needs to stop political ads attacking Tim Sheehy’s character. My grandfather fought in WWI. My father fought in WWII. My son-in-law was in Iraq. I am a fifth generation Californian who relocated here 13 years ago. That does not make me less of a Montanan than Tester. His ads are insulting. His family migrated here too at some point. He needs to stick to the issues. 

Tim Sheehy started an aerial firefighting company that employs lots of Montanans. He pays taxes! He bought a big ranch because he is a self made millionaire. Tester is a career politician and he too is a millionaire.

    Again the election should be about the issues. Tester has a record that can be examined, notwithstanding what he promises to do in the future. Sheehy has said what he stands for but does not have a record we can examine.

    Tim Sheehy is yet another out of state wealthy fella thinking he can represent the generations of dirt eating Montanans somehow. Why is it the Montana republicans can’t seem to find homegrown candidates? As of today he will not be getting my vote. I’ll plug my nose and vote for Tester before I vote for another wealthy out of stater.
