Tester Launches Positive Ad Campaign
Big Sandy farmer to make campaign one of Montana values and issues
Montana Senate President and Big Sandy farmer Jon Tester launched his general election campaign this morning with two advertisements highlighting Tester’s Montana values, one for TV and one for radio, both designed to make the race for U.S. Senate focus on issues important to Montanans.
“People all over the state are talking to Jon about the high cost of energy and prescription medicine and finally getting a handle on our national debt, not about which party is going to control the Senate” said Tester Campaign Manager Stephanie Schriock. “We’ve seen the kind of campaign that Sen. Burns wants to run and we’d rather talk about the issues.”
The biographical television ad is a summary not only of Tester’s heritage and background, but the reasons he decided to run for the Montana legislature and eventually, the U.S. Senate; “Honest government. Energy independence. And to stop the waste that passes on debt to our children. Lessons first learned on that farm not far from Big Sandy,” the narrator says as photos of the Tester farm fade in and out.
Also today, the campaign began airing a 60 second radio ad entitled “Who I Am.” The ad tells the story of Tester’s upbringing on the farm his grandparents homesteaded that he would eventually call his own. “It’s here that my wife, Sharla and I taught our own children that family is everything, that your word is your bond, and that building a better future means working hard every day,” Tester says in the ad.
Tester goes on to describe why he’s running for the U.S. Senate; “I’m running for United States Senate because Washington has lost its way, and we need to set it right. Bring honesty to government. Help America become energy independent. And stop saddling our children with debt.”
