Our Senate choice

September 24, 2024 by Guest Post

by Archie Thomas & Merry Schrumpf, Corvallis

How should a primary Senate candidate be qualified for the Montana Republican Party’s primary selection process? 

Should a Montana Senate candidate be ordained by a former president from New York rather than a Montana slate including maybe Matt Rosendale? 

Are Montana voters to accept Steve Daines’ and Trump’s choice as the Republican Senate candidate without reservation? 

As Trump becomes more unhinged from reality and less likely to be elected, where does this leave Montana if we elect Trump’s untested, unknown and bought and paid for political minion? 

Are Montana voters to accept a Senate candidate that can’t or won’t explain two bullets in his arm versus a National Park Service accident report? 

Do Montana women want a Senator who favors stripping their rights to control their own bodies? 

Does Tim Sheehy’s racist bigoted language toward Native Americans represent Montana values? 

Does Tim Sheehy represent the newly introduced negative Montana values revolving around out of state money and influence? 

Whether a Montana native or a new resident, should Montana accept a nationally chosen candidate without Montana values or history to represent us in Washington? 

If Tim Sheehy were elected, as Montanans, what parts of our values will be highlighted knowing he was hand picked by a defeated past president who believes immigrants eat pet dogs because he saw it on TV? 

Jon Tester is simply a Montanan representing Montanans; his history, experience and results speak for themselves. 

Vote Jon Tester for Senate.

    Jon “Tainted” Tester is funded by NY as well as many other large out of State contributors. Matter of fact he is reported to be the most lobbied member of either house.
