In my experience with Tester he is the opposite of what you have described, and he won’t be getting my vote. I don’t need my voice in the Senate to be Chuck Schumer dressed up as a farmer with a flattop haircut.

I really dislike Steve Daines. I am someone who lives in MT so that he can access and use public land and water. Steve Daines ripped me off big time with this one, especially considering that he was in the position to do the exact opposite and defend historic public access to public land. I wonder what was in it for him? When I ate dinner next to Daines and his family, no one at his table had the slightest wind burnt tan- I had a strong hunch that none of them were outdoorsmen that appreciated open land for the reasons I do. IMO I’ve become very good at judging books by their covers (and their political actions)
Daines gets a lot wrong on public lands policy but he is a for real outdoorsman.
I'd like to hear the details of your interactions that you had with Tester that were so bad... specifics. He's not even my senator and he's been very helpful to me every time I'm in D.C.
Yes he does. It's troubling that someone who allegedly is an avid outdoorsman will sell out for the party. I wish they would hold the line and educate those in the party about how important public lands are.
There was no interaction because after reaching out to him 3x I couldn’t even get a response from his support staff. Should I have left a 4th VM or email? I called Rep. Roaendale’s office and had a reply the next day. Not a huge fan of him but at least he can return a call. I did run into him in the Hilton Garden Inn in Bozeman back in ‘08ish, and we spoke. The topic of conversation I brought up was wolves and he gave me the typical song and dance.
Have you tried burning text messages and emails? Also a total waste!
I guess some of us would find it odd how others think the number of generations rooted in a geographical location, and working a predetermined occupation are somehow qualifiers to represent us on a national stage. I could care less if a candidate was an immigrant from India who worked at a sweat shop. I want to hear their stance on issues and if elected I want to see their voting record. Tester voted lock step with Schumer, over 95% of the time. He can pack his bags, I don’t need Chuck representing me. I don’t agree with the R’s on a few items, but the reality is even if there are a few who have crazy ideas concerning public lands they don’t have the votes to make anything happen on that front.
You continue to drive home my point. Who cares if he didn’t have “wind burn?” Maybe they wear sunscreen or stayed out of the sun/wind. Should he have looked like a slob in a public setting, would you all of a sudden think more highly of him then? When I saw Senator Tester at the HGI in Bozeman wearing a suit and tie that didn’t sway my opinion of him. His voting record takes care of that for me.
Perhaps if you tried spelling Testers name correctly you might get a better response.
Sitting in a wolf blind and had my screen light turned down, I’ll edit it for you. You could add the ‘ before the s too.
Yes please do, and please share a photo of yourself so we can report you to the FBI for insurrection.
Did you thank Tester and Simpson for giving you the opportunity to be sitting in that wolf blind?
