I have been receiving postcards stating “Jon Tester Voted with Biden 95% of the time!”
The president doesn’t actually vote but I’ll assume they mean Biden signing Tester’s bills into law. Former President Trump signed 30 bills that Tester sponsored into law. Joe Biden has signed 26. This does not sound like “Tester is standing up for Joe Biden, not Montana”.
In fact, here are a few ways that Tester is standing up for Montana:
• Sponsored into law over 3 dozen bills supporting veterans
• PACT Act with more than 35,000 Montana veterans screened for toxic exposure
• 12 new VA facilities opening or in planning and construction in MT
• Funds to purchase 41 clean school buses for Montana schools
People are also reading…
• Millions in dollars for Montana’s roads, highways and bridges; rural water projects and to reduce wildfire risk nationwide
• $629 million for High speed internet infrastructure in Montana
• CHIPS act funding western Montana’s existing smart sensing technology with millions of dollars, to apply remote sensing for national security, natural resource management and disaster prevention
• $61,327,969 for Montana’s State Small Business Credit Initiative helping small businesses and startups grow and succeed
• Lowered cost on many common prescriptions
• Extends Affordable Care Act provisions to prevent price hikes for thousands of Montanans
• Defeated a Biden proposal that would have negatively impacted family farms, ranches, and small businesses
Perhaps the Senate Leadership Fund needs a new research editor. Jon Tester has proved he stands up for Montana; Tim Sheehy has not.
