There’s a reason why Senator Tester was ranked one of the most effective senators among all 100 Republicans and Democrats. He GSD (Gets Sh** Done), this time for our healthcare. As a Corvallis resident, I am incredibly grateful to Sen. Jon Tester for improving our healthcare.
Rural hospitals are essential; in a medical emergency, driving to Missoula doesn’t work. Jon has secured hundreds of millions to help Montana’s rural hospitals and including $1 million to support seniors with disabilities in Ravalli County. I recently attended a press conference where Senator Tester spoke about his recent legislation that gave Medicare the ability to negotiate some drug prices for the 1st time in history.
Most importantly, he’s always been on the side of making sure Montana women make their own reproductive and medical decisions – not politicians. Don’t be fooled, Tim Sheehy’s plans include a national abortion ban. He probably doesn’t want me making his medical decisions, and I will not let him, or any politician, make mine.
Tim Sheehy also supports privatizing our rural hospitals which could reduce available services that aren’t profitable in rural communities. Bitterroot Valley hospitals can’t survive without federal funding.
Tim Sheehy has ZERO experience in public office, refuses to participate in interviews, is from Minnesota and a puppet for the extremist right-wing faction. He is WRONG for Montana.
Senator Jon Tester FROM Montana and FOR Montana.
Absentee ballots are out… I’m voting for Senator Tester for all he’s done for the Bitterroot Valley and Montana.

He is also ranked as taking the most bribes from the lobbies.
