Montana has the highest suicide rate in America—this is nothing short of unacceptable. Whether you're a veteran in Broadus or a teacher in Butte, we are Montanans first, and every Montanan deserves to live a long, healthy life. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jon Tester @SenatorTester

Truly draining the swamp means pulling the plug on politicians trying to cash in on their public service. My friend @SenatorBennet and I have a plan—banning members of Congress from becoming lobbyists. We must be 100% committed to the folks we represent, not special interests. — PolitiTweet.org

Any healthy community starts with affordable housing, and Indian Country is no different. We’ve got to work together to come up solutions that address the housing crisis leaving Native folks in Montana and around this country behind. https://t.co/syDJvnBEcQ — PolitiTweet.org

Together, with the support of key advocates like @FarmBureau, @afspnational, @FarmAid, @femalefarmers, @NAMICommunicate, @wheatworld, @NFUDC, @YoungFarmers and many more, we can give our farmers the resources they need to keep doing what they do best—feeding the world. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jon Tester @SenatorTester

My colleague and fellow farmer @ChuckGrassley is throwing his support behind my bill, the #SeedingRuralResilienceAct. We need to tackle the mental health challenges our farmers and ranchers face in rural America, and this bill aims to do just that. https://t.co/8gh2vqC2Z3 — PolitiTweet.org

By golly, Ms. Holly, you’ve done it! Congratulations to our #FatBearWeek winner! Thanks to @NatlParkService for all the coverage of this year’s #FatBearWeek and their commitment to keeping our parks safe for wildlife and visitors alike. #KeepItPublic — PolitiTweet.org

ICYMI: Last week, more than 150 folks in Livingston came out to let me know what's working in the Washington and what isn't. It's open, public town halls like these that let me know how I'm doing as Montana's voice in the Senate, and how to better serve you. 📽️: @KTVQ https://t.co/sJLC1uatXe — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jon Tester @SenatorTester

Sleeping Giant might be a top contender for the best middle school name in Montana, and these students were certainly up to par! It was great talking with the future leaders of our state, and I can’t wait to see how they continue to learn, grow, and bring us into the future. https://t.co/93Gx7UohqS — PolitiTweet.org

Time for our boys in blue and gold to #SackSacState and add another win to their incredible season. Happy homecoming to all the @MontanaState alums and everyone who made it out to Bozeman today—looking forward to another win in Bobcat Country! #GoCatsGo https://t.co/7PX25lJ2mZ — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jon Tester @SenatorTester

Thanks to the nearly 150 folks who came to my town hall at @TheShaneCenter in Livingston. These public, in-person town halls put me in the hot seat and help you hold me accountable. With your feedback, I can help make Washington look a bit more like Montana. https://t.co/Dh88cctYFy — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jon Tester @SenatorTester

Join me in Livingston this morning for an in-person town hall! As Montana's voice in Washington, it's critical that I hear from you about what's working and what isn't. See you there! Location details ⬇️: https://t.co/uxgV2y6c7F — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jon Tester @SenatorTester

This bill helps connect rural areas with more resources to address mental health care, and takes aim at reducing the stigma against reaching out for help. Our farmers and ranchers work hard to provide for us—we need to work hard for them. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jon Tester @SenatorTester

These challenges are part of the reason the suicide rate is 45 times higher in rural America than in urban areas. We've got to tackle this issue head on—and my #SeedingRuralResilienceAct does just that. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jon Tester @SenatorTester

On #WorldMentalHealthDay, we cannot leave rural America out of the conversation. Our farmers and ranchers face serious challenges to receiving mental health care—isolation, a lack of broadband and telehealth opportunities, and the stigma against asking for help. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jon Tester @SenatorTester

Another town hall? Don't mind if I do! Join me in Livingston this Friday! I'll be there to ➡ answer your questions ➡ hear your feedback on policies that affect you ➡ give you an update on how we're getting Congress to work for Montana. Details below. See you Friday! https://t.co/itYYgJKRtf — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jon Tester @SenatorTester

All Montana students and teachers, no matter where they live, should have access to the tools they need to learn, grow, and thrive. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jon Tester @SenatorTester

As a former teacher, I know just how important early childhood education programs are for Montana kids. Thanks to the Striving Readers Literacy Program, Montana will receive millions to help our schools give all children the support to better develop literacy skills. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jon Tester @SenatorTester

If you needed one more reason to #KeepItPublic, it’s #FatBearWeek🐻. The competition to be @KatmaiNPS's fattest bear is stiff, but my money's on mom-of-two and fan favorite 435 Holly. Cast your vote and keep with all the coverage at ➡️ https://t.co/Zm7YdIp3uk — PolitiTweet.org

Loved watching the #Griz bring home the win today. Wishing everyone a safe and happy homecoming! https://t.co/NFaZCLLNdo — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jon Tester @SenatorTester

The @UMGRIZZLIES went on the road last week and let everyone know who’s boss. I know they’ll do it again at home today with the help of their great alumni – happy homecoming everybody! Good luck and #GoGriz! https://t.co/8cfrx6FEWZ — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jon Tester @SenatorTester

Thanks to everyone who came out to MSU Billings today to have a frank conversation about the issues facing our state and our country. I always appreciate hearing from you and that you hold me accountable. I’m looking forward to seeing you at my next in-person town hall. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jon Tester @SenatorTester

Took a question about dark money in our elections. Let’s be clear here, corporations aren’t people and Montanans know that. If you put a bill on the floor of the Senate that clarified that, it would pass. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jon Tester @SenatorTester

Was just asked about civic engagement. The decisions we make today will have a tremendous impact on young people in this country. As leaders we can inspire the next generation by keeping politics out of our decision making and doing what’s right for the country. It’s that simple. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jon Tester @SenatorTester

I just got a question about suicide rates in Montana. I've got a bill to address this crisis that would be a good start, but we have to keep pushing. We need more mental health professionals on the ground and we have to reduce the stigma around mental health in rural America. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jon Tester @SenatorTester

Was just asked about our climate. We’ve got ice sheets that are melting, we’ve got oceans that are rising, we’ve got bugs in our crops and in our forests that we've never had before. We have to work together to do something about our changing climate. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jon Tester @SenatorTester

Just got a question about legislative gridlock in the Senate. We're supposed to be the greatest deliberative body in the world, but we don't debate much anymore. If we actually did the work of debating the issues, I think we'd come up with a whole heckuva lot more solutions. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jon Tester @SenatorTester

One of the first questions is about protecting public lands. Let's be clear, one of the things that makes Montana great is our public lands. You don't have to be a millionaire and own a ranch to go hunting or a stream to go fishing. I'm always going to fight to keep it that way. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jon Tester @SenatorTester

My town hall in Billings is about to get started. I'm excited to meet with Montanans in the Magic City and take your questions. — PolitiTweet.org
