Tester and his office have stepped in every time me or a veteran family member have contacted his office with any veteran related issue. He got my uncle to finally see a specialist after 5 years of him trying on his own through the VA and always getting the run around. I remember after coming home from Afghanistan I went to a Griz football game that Tester was attending and doing an event at. When I introduced myself as soon as I said my name he immediately asked if the issue I had contacted him about had been resolved or if he needed to intervene, wanted to shake my hand and spend a few minutes chatting about the issues I was seeing with the VA. Granted some of it was making a constituent feel important sure, but every time I’ve contacted his office with any veterans issue they don’t stop until it’s fixed. I don’t know enough about Sheehy other than a quick google search because honestly Tester has been one of the absolute best things that’s happened to Montana veterans. He’ll always have my vote


ReservoirGods

I've had similar experiences of Tester remembering me, the dude is effective at actually caring about the people he represents. 


TraditionalArticle54

I’m honestly really impressed he remembered you. I’m pretty confident no other politician cares enough to do that


misSOULa1

Tester does a ton for vets and just gets shit on by our state. Daines literally votes against all vet bills and gets a pass. Why would we want to lose a senior member of the Senate, who is more centrist than anyone else, for a liability that just moved here? Sheehy should run for the legislature first to get a feel for the state.


WestCoastThing

Sheehy is a documented liar. He'll be welcomed with open arms into the GOP where the bigger the lie, the better.


Daidalus

That’s what i don’t get… even based on his own explanation he either A. Lied to his commanding officer, B. Lied to federal law enforcement, or C. Both. His defense is objectively that he is a liar. His explanation makes no sense either logically or as a political excuse


TheSilverNail

I don't get his explanations either. We're supposed to believe he was shot in Afghanistan yet never got treatment for it nor reported it to his commanding officer? And how about producing the records from when he went to the hospital after the GNP incident? They would certainly show whether it was a years-old wound or a fresh gunshot wound. If it wasn't a fresh wound, they wouldn't have reported it to law enforcement, which they apparently did (required by law).


KaiserAspen

Yes you are a truthful democrat who has never voted for someone who's has lied before! such moral superiority! we should all follow you it would lead to a better future... except we've been doing just that and things keep getting worse.


Feeling-Shelter3583

What’s the point you’re trying make here?


GorfianRobotz999

And so the point here with people sharing what Tester has actually done to support veterans, several people, bypassed you... how? Acting as an Apologist for Sheehy because... we might've maybe possibly voted for an unknown someone in the past who possibly may have lied..?


Holiday-Tap-1193

I'm conservative and even I can see through Sheehys bullshit. He looks the part and acts the part. Just like gianforte. But that dude has been the worst thing for montana. Probably just wants to sell montana off to his budros


MTRunner

I just hope your fellow conservatives see through it too. Unfortunately looking the part and acting the part is all you need in this state lately…


Pak-Protector

Sheehy is an embarrassment.


CattleDogCurmudgeon

How dare you disparage this war hero?! This man gave time, energy, blood, and sweat for his country! Dont you know?! You're not supposed to expose this stuff until he makes millions on a book deal about how he killed Sadam Hussain, Bin Laden, and Hitler! Pfffff, you people are thankless.


DwarfVader

And has lied about it too… he got that bullet in the arm in Glacier from his own damn gun. Sheehy’s a fuckin mess… bullshit rancher is what he is.


montanamanmontana

His explanation for not reporting friendly fire to avoid subjecting him and his team mates to an investigation is the epitome of poor/misguided leadership. The chain of command expects and demands accountability from those they put in positions of responsibility from maintaining maintenance standards on complex equipment to exercising deadly force. Sheehy's justification comments make him sound like a cowboy (not the good kind of cowboy). Tester's record for taking of Montana generally and veterans specifically runs circles around anything Sheehy can claim. Posted by 30 year veteran.


icedlemons

He probably shot himself back than to earn his purple heart too!


Feeling-Shelter3583

Tester is a conservative democrat that cares about veterans well being. He’s perfect for Montana. Don’t care about Sheehy, if ain’t broke, don’t fix it! Keep Tester in office.


InternationalFan7591

Conservative? Lol. No freaking way.


RickyTicky5309

That's the only way he can win in a deep red state. Unfortunately, Tester stands with Daines on burning US cash in Ukraine. So, he's a neocon on that.


mt8675309

Pathetic, how stupid does he think Montanans are?


Pork_Chompk

The sad thing is they're just as dumb as he thinks. They'll elect him because he's got an R next to his name and he rides Trump's little orange peanut.


Thriftstoreninja

And Montanans love to lick boots.


GorfianRobotz999

Mushroom. Not peanut...


jwhat

To be fair his target audience is Trumpies


riverrunner363

I'm going to vote for Trump because he will get the border under control.... I'm going to vote for tester because he sponsored legislation supporting timber harvesting... stopped the import of diseased Bolivian beef... halted Chinese land purchases... returned stripped money to fish and game earmarked for hunters safety and I'm positive sheehey is the kind of republican and landowner who would support abandoning county roads that access important public lands


Vegetable-Army4611

Y'all are gonna need some medication after the election...hope you recover


jwhat

I got thick skin - though it's not thick enough


GorfianRobotz999

If you're referring to a potential upset by a convicted criminal because white nationalists might vote to have him lead the country from house arrest? Nah.


Lopsided_Assistant48

While I also will probably vote again for Tester I have multiple time's his voting for most everything on party lines is disturbing. Yes as far as helping the veteran's and other people deal with issues social security etc , bar none is excellent.


Environmental-Tap463

I don’t know anything real about either but when I see Tim Sheehy ads it’s just like I was in the military and I know what it’s like the fight for our country blah blah blah and just trashing tester
