Montana Sen. Jon Tester (D) announced Wednesday that he will seek reelection for a fourth term, giving some relief to Democrats who see his bid for re-election as a key to their hopes of retaining the Senate majority.
Tester said in a statement that people in Washington, D.C. do not understand the challenges facing working families in his state and he is running to defend “Montana values.”
“I am running for re-election so I can keep fighting for Montanans and demand that Washington stand up for our veterans and lower costs,” he said. “Montanans need a fighter holding Washington accountable and I’m running to defend our Montana values.”
Democrats hold a 50-49 edge in the Senate. Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (I-Ariz.) switched her party affiliation from Democrat to Independent at the end of last year.
