WASHINGTON – Today, Sentinel Action Fund President Jessica Anderson released the following statement after the debate between Republican Tim Sheehy and Democrat Senator Jon Tester in Montana.

“After tonight’s debate, it’s clear that Tim Sheehy is ready to stand up and represent Montana’s interests and build a new Republican Senate majority in Washington. Tim Sheehy won the night by providing tangible solutions to secure the border, support our military, lower energy costs, and ensure life is affordable for all Montanans while also calling out Jon Tester’s long record of failure in Washington. As Sheehy highlighted, Jon Tester has rubber stamped the extreme policies put forth by Chuck Schumer and the Biden-Harris administration which have led to an ongoing border crisis, an affordability crisis, and growing crises overseas. Ultimately this debate proved what voters have known all along: Tim Sheehy is a conservative champion for Montana and Jon Tester is a radical Democrat who has put his own political ambitions ahead of his constituents.

Early voting is set to begin in Montana next week, and voters must embrace all of the tools they have to elect President Trump and Tim Sheehy. Sentinel Action Fund has been on the ground using voter outreach tools like door knocking, phone calls, text messages, and direct mail to ensure Montanans have all the information they need to make their voices heard early. From the future of the filibuster and the Supreme Court to potential gun bans and mass amnesty, voters must not forget their votes will have a massive impact on the leadership of the Senate and the future of our country.”
