“U.S. Senator Jon Tester is a third-generation farmer from Big Sandy, Montana, where he and his wife Sharla continue to work the same land homesteaded by his grandparents in 1912. A former school teacher and proud grandfather, Tester brings his rural roots and practical experience to his leadership roles as Chairman of the Senate Veterans Affairs Committee and Chairman of the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Defense. He also serves on the Senate Banking Committee, the Senate Commerce Committee, and the Senate Committee on Indian Affairs, advocating for Montana’s interests and supporting rural communities, veterans, and families nationwide.”
