Montana Sportsmen Alliance Endorses Farmer Jon Tester for United States Senate
Billings—Today, the Montana Sportsmen Alliance endorsed
farmer and United States Senator Jon Tester for his proven record of
relentlessly defending our public lands and Montana’s outdoor heritage.
Tester has always been a strong champion for Montana’s
outdoor economy, which supports more than 70,000 jobs annually. And he
has consistently opposed efforts to sell off or transfer federal public
lands, has fought to reduce barriers to public access of land, and has
worked to protect public land from development.
“There’s no doubt about it—keeping public lands in public hands is a Montana value,” Tester said. “With
the help of groups like the Montana Sportsmen Alliance, we can fight
back against outsiders who are hell-bent on taking our public lands and
fundamentally changing our Montana way of life. I’m proud to stand with
them and I’m proud to have their endorsement.”
“Jon understands that here in Montana, being able
to use this state’s natural resources for hunting, angling, and
recreation isn’t just our hobby, it’s our heritage,” said Joe Perry, President of the Montana Sportsmen Alliance. “We
owe it to the next generation of Montanans to preserve our public lands
so they can enjoy the same kind of access we do. Jon Tester is a proven
fighter, and we’re proud to endorse him as the best candidate to
represent our core values to Washington.”
