Jon: Who I am begins with where I’m from.
Here family is everything and your word is your bond.
Building a better future means working hard everyday.
I’m running for the United States Senate because Washington has lost its way and we need to set it right.
Over the next few months I’ll be taking my truck across the state, asking you to join me – for real change in Washington.
Narrator: Jon Tester. Real Change. Real Montana.
Jon: I’m Jon Tester and I approve this message.
Dear Friends,
Tuesday’s Primary Election will decide more than the Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate. It will decide the message Democrats will use to take on Senator Burns in the General Election.
With millions of dollars from out of state special interests on his side, Senator Burns will try to run from his record. He’s spent 18 years serving lobbyists like Jack Abramoff instead of Montanans like you and me.
Ready to fight back? I am.
Narrator: It’s happening. All over Montana, people are joining Jon Tester’s campaign for U.S. Senate.
Like former Senator ‘Doc’ Melcher, who says that Tester is “real Montana from the ground up.” And “the strongest candidate to take on Conrad Burns”.
That’s because Jon Tester will end Conrad Burns’ kind of corruption and make the U.S. Senate look a little more like Montana.

We began the day like any other on the farm, with a strong cup of coffee and an early start on the tractor.
I’m proud to share our new television ad “Out Here�.
Introducing my home and way of life is a great way to start a face-to-face conversation with voters across Montana. This ad is truly about the life I live and the work I do each day, farming the same land my grandparents homesteaded in 1916.
It’s also about the change I’ll bring to Washington, helping improve the quality of life we all enjoy here in Montana. I’ll push for concrete steps to create jobs in communities across the state by developing clean energy projects like wind and biodiesel. And I’ll stand up to the pharmaceutical industry and the insurance companies to make health care affordable and available to every family.
The most important way to get our country back on track is by ending the ethical bankruptcy in the halls of power. We need new, honest leadership with the integrity and backbone to say and do what’s right, in every circumstance.
It’s simple: ethics don’t come in and go out of style. They’re permanent.
Jon: After three generations on this land, I know just how much Montana’s worth fighting for.
I helped Brian Schweitzer change politics in Helena, and I’ll bring the same kind of change to Washington.
Create jobs. End Conrad Burns’ kind of corruption. And stand up to insurance companies to finally get every family health care.
I don’t look like the other senators, but isn’t it time the senate looked a little bit more like Montana?
I’m Jon Tester and I approved this message.
