It remains unclear whether Republican businessman Tim Sheehy will have the GOP field to himself against Sen. Jon Tester (D-Mont.). The Montana race will be key to determining which party controls the Senate.
“Whether it was in war or business, I see problems and solve them,” Sheehy said in a statement. “America needs conservative leaders who love our country. I’m running for the U.S. Senate because our campaign is about service, duty, and country — not politics as usual.”
It remains unclear whether Sheehy will have the GOP field to himself. Rep. Matthew M. Rosendale , a conservative lawmaker allied with the anti-tax Club for Growth who lost to TesterSheehy’s bid, however, was blessed Tuesday by Sen. Steve Daines , who chairs the National Republican Senatorial Committee, which works to recruit and support GOP Senate candidates.
In his statement, Sheehy sought to cast Tester, a three-term senator who is the only Democrat to hold statewide office in Montana, as out of touch with the heavily Republican-leaning state and as a Washington politician who marches in lockstep with“Jon Tester has been in office for nearly a quarter of a century and he’s lost sight of our Montana values,” Sheehy said. “He’s supporting Biden and Schumer’s liberal agenda.
“Jon Tester has farm equipment that’s been in Montana longer than Tim Sheehy,” Monica Robinson, senior communications adviser for the Montana Democratic Party, said in a statement. “The last thing Montanans want in a senator is an out-of-state transplant recruited by Mitch McConnell and DC lobbyists.”
