MISSOULA, MT – After the debate between Jon Tester and Tim Sheehy, AFP Action is highlighting five key takeaways:
- Senator Tester has failed to secure the southern border and Montana. Tim Sheehy will fight for increased technology, boots on the ground and infrastructure.
- Tester backed the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), which did not lower inflation. Instead, the IRA has resulted in U.S. gas prices increasing by nearly 62%, natural gas prices spiking by more than 40 percent, and included a $250-billion-dollar Department of Energy Loan Guarantee Program to fund liberal pet projects.
- A vote for Senator Tester is a vote to keep veterans in a broken VA system.
- In the debate, Tester desperately tried to distance himself from the economic failures of the Biden-Harris administration, but he has voted with the president nearly 100% of the time.
- Tim Sheehy will be a man of action and work on day one to get Montana and our country’s economy back on track. Montanans want to turn the page on Tester’s nearly 20 years in Washington, DC.
Senior Advisor Jesse Ramos released the following statement:
“Tonight, Tim Sheehy shared a vision for a stronger Montana, not more of the economic uncertainty ushered in by the policies of Jon Tester. For nearly 20 years, Jon Tester has said one thing in Montana and voted another way in Washington, DC. Meanwhile, Sheehy has spent his career as a Navy SEAL serving our country.
“It’s time to turn the page on career-politician Jon Tester and Tim Sheehy is the leader Montanans deserve. A businessman who has created jobs right here in Montana, Sheehy has the experience to reignite the economy.”
