Letter:Tester works hard

Jon Tester works hard. He cares about his constituents. He listens. He acts.

For years my husband, Bob, doctored at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota. Many 5 a.m. Mondays, he and I joined Jon and Sharla at the airport. Jon never failed to ask about his health and to genuinely express his concern for us. When everyone’s seat light went out, Jon’s light was on, reading piles of paper from his briefcase, marking in the margin the important points. On the Thursday. or Friday evening flights back to Great Falls, there they were again. Same concern, same work routine all the way home to Montana, to his ranch, senior citizen centers, Vets clubs, schools and chambers of commerce. Jon always makes time to meet with people face to face to find out their concerns, to genuinely listen. In Washington, he remembers those discussions and the faces. In committee, he holds agencies and the administration accountable TO US. He has been effective---improved VA care, reasonable Ag policies, improved access and affordability to healthcare, streamlining regulations, protected public land, etc.

We cannot find a better warrior for us in D.C. A vote for Tester will be a vote for face to face open government and someone who works tirelessly for us. He knows us and he cares. Vote Tester.
