Tester Statement on Vote to Fund the Government

U.S. Senator Jon Tester today released the following statement on his vote to fund the government through February 18, 2022:

“This vote was a cheap stunt that would have shut down the government—holding paychecks for our troops hostage and endangering our national security. Instead of negotiating in good faith, I’m disappointed some of my colleagues tried to score political points at the expense of Montana families.”
