John,

Jon and I are pretty familiar with the drive from our home in Big Sandy to
Great Falls. It’s how Jon travels between the farm and the Senate. It’s
the route we take to go get haircuts, replacement parts for the tractor,
you name it.

And four years ago, it became the route we took to go get my chemotherapy
treatments after I was diagnosed with breast cancer in the spring of 2020.

I was lucky that I caught it early and lucky to receive the best care from
the doctors and nurses at Benefis Sletten Cancer Institute in Great Falls.
I was also blessed to have the best support system in the world: Jon and
our children. They got me through.

As I’m counting my blessings, I can’t help but think of the folks who
aren’t as fortunate as I have been. Folks who don’t have affordable health
insurance to rely on in the face of a terrifying cancer diagnosis. Who
need to travel hundreds of miles for treatment. Or those who don’t catch
it early because getting a routine screening means they can’t put food on
the table that night. The folks who choose between paying for treatment or
paying their bills.

In a great country like ours, no family should have to break the bank to
get treatment for their illnesses. We’ve come a long way in the fight for
affordable health care, but there’s still work to be done.

This fight is personal to Jon and me, and my hope is that it resonates
with you, too. Montana needs a champion in the Senate who will fight for
folks to have the affordable coverage we need to catch cancer early and
treat it well — and not worry about the cost of saving their own life.

Thanks for listening,

Sharla

P.S. Do your monthly self-examinations — they can save lives. They saved
mine.

As a third-generation Montanan and the U.S. Senate’s only working dirt
farmer, Jon Tester is committed to protecting the Montana way of life.

In the Senate, Jon takes his cues from the rural communities, veterans,
and working families that elected him—not special interests or super PACs.

That’s why we’re counting on you to help reelect Jon and keep him fighting
for rural communities in the Senate. [ [link removed] ]Click here to chip in and fuel our
