It is with great sadness that our state now grieves the loss of more than 1000 of our fellow Montanans to COVID-19. These folks, more than just numbers, were our friends, neighbors, and loved ones. Sharla and I share our deepest condolences with their families. — PolitiTweet.org

Montana’s frontline health care workers need this vaccine to effectively fight COVID-19, and I’ll continue holding the Trump Administration accountable to ensure it’s distributed quickly and effectively so we can put this virus behind us and get folks back to work. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jon Tester @SenatorTester

Today I pushed the Trump Administration’s head of Operation Warp Speed to ensure the supply of COVID-19 vaccines quickly reaches every corner of our state. We’ve got folks standing ready to administer vaccines to Montanans—we just need more supply. — PolitiTweet.org

As we close the book on this year, I know we've got a lot to be hopeful for in 2021. Remember to stay safe while ringing in the New Year by celebrating virtually or with folks in your household. From our family to yours, happy New Year! https://t.co/4nJG9HlROF — PolitiTweet.org

This is exactly why people don’t trust Congress. Instead of having a real debate and letting folks vote how they want, Sen McConnell is setting up a sham vote with the aim of nothing happening. It’s pathetic and Americans deserve better. — PolitiTweet.org

While Christmas this year may look a bit different than in years past, the spirit of our celebrations remain bright as ever. Wishing you good tidings and a very merry Christmas. https://t.co/YMGEhM3euR — PolitiTweet.org

Democrats and Republicans came together to overwhelmingly pass this critical legislation—just as Congress has done for more than 50 years. Now we must quickly override this veto, provide for our national defense, and deliver for our troops, veterans, and their families. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jon Tester @SenatorTester

Vetoing the defense bill is a stunt that undermines our security, defense installations in Montana and across the globe, and it delays care and benefits for servicemembers and veterans—particularly those suffering and dying from conditions associated with Agent Orange exposure. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jon Tester @SenatorTester

Montanans can’t wait another minute, so I’m going to keep working across the aisle to aggressively hold the federal government accountable and make sure relief gets into the hands of Montana families as soon as possible. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jon Tester @SenatorTester

It's a bipartisan compromise that provides targeted support for Montana small businesses, folks who lost their jobs through no fault of their own, Tribal health, public education, housing, and more. It will also help get vaccines to folks in rural America quickly and effectively. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jon Tester @SenatorTester

For months, I’ve worked with leadership on both sides of the aisle to negotiate an economic stimulus package that will put our economy back on track and get Montanans back to work, and today, Congress listened to Montana common sense. — PolitiTweet.org

The arrival of the vaccine in Montana brings with it the promise of a bright future. As the distribution process begins to take shape, we've got to continue following those guidelines that help keep us healthy—wearing masks, social distancing, and practicing good hygiene. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jon Tester @SenatorTester

For years, I’ve been working to expand mental health benefits to Guardsmen and Reservists, regardless of deployment status. I was able to convince some folks across the aisle to jump on board in 2019, and now the #CAREForReservistsAct is just one step away from becoming law. https://t.co/3yx58IiD6P — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jon Tester @SenatorTester

This is a groundbreaking moment as we push VA to provide better access to care and services for women veterans and their families. Unanimous Senate passage of my Deborah Sampson Act sends a clear message—we will not leave women veterans behind. https://t.co/0z1xEEEkNt — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jon Tester @SenatorTester

To the health care workers battling on the frontlines—thank you. We owe an immense debt of gratitude to you and your families for confronting this crisis head-on. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jon Tester @SenatorTester

The moment is here—Montana's frontline health care workers are getting the first round of COVID-19 vaccinations, a truly historic milestone in our fight to manage the spread of this virus and get Montanans back to work. https://t.co/gkb8POJfOo — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jon Tester @SenatorTester

This is an historic triumph after months of hardship and sacrifice. I'll continue my push to ensure every Montanan has access to this vaccine no matter who they are or where they live, so we can beat this thing once and for all. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jon Tester @SenatorTester

Today marks an extraordinary milestone in our fight against COVID-19—the first doses of the vaccine have arrived in MT. Soon, our frontline health care workers will begin receiving their vaccine, putting us on the road to beating this virus and getting our economy back on track. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jon Tester @SenatorTester

It's critical that Montana families have access to high-quality, affordable health care during this pandemic and beyond. Head to https://t.co/c7GyBtWVwC to #GetCovered. But don't wait—open enrollment ends tomorrow, December 15. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jon Tester @SenatorTester

Just had a good conversation with @DenisMcDonough about how VA can best live up to its promises to our veterans now… https://t.co/gUaezuxn5W — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jon Tester @SenatorTester

Isolation, market uncertainty, and natural disasters have all led to a growing mental health crisis in rural America. My Seeding Rural Resilience Act passed the Senate as a part of this year’s #NDAA, giving us the tools we need to help address this crisis head-on. https://t.co/coo0281sHT — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jon Tester @SenatorTester

🚨BIG NEWS🚨 My bill expanding benefits to Vietnam veterans suffering from health conditions tied to their exposure to Agent Orange during service has passed the Senate. Our veterans have waited too long for the care they’ve earned–the President must sign this bill into law ASAP. https://t.co/SaSeijSMrc — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jon Tester @SenatorTester

Big day in the Senate—we just passed the FY21 #NDAA, including these major wins for MT: ✅ Expanded benefits for Vietnam vets ✅ Resources to address growing mental health crisis in rural America ✅ Critical investments in MT servicemembers, military families, and installations — PolitiTweet.org

It's been an honor to serve with my friend @SenatorTomUdall in the Senate and as members of the @IndianCommittee. Tom's hard work has helped advance important priorities across Native communities and he has always put the best interests of his constituents—and this country—first. https://t.co/Y2i6oKdNk3 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jon Tester @SenatorTester

It was great to hear from Tribal leaders at yesterday’s @IndianCommittee. Advancing Tribal self-governance is critical to meeting the unique needs of Native communities—we must ensure they receive the tools and flexibly necessary to do just that. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Jon Tester @SenatorTester
