A dirt farmer from Montana and a vegan from New Jersey. Go figure.

  Hey there, it’s Cory Booker. Jon asked me to reach out so that I can ask you to chip in a donation toward his $50,000 fundraising goal before his Senate campaign’s midnight deadline. But now we need to fix this drywall too. Can you chip in $10 to his campaign? I’ll explain more in a…

Poppy seed bread, fresh out of the oven!

  Hey folks, Jon’s wife Sharla here. We’ve been getting more rain and snow on the farm this week, so I’ve been busy in the kitchen and just took some poppy seed bread out of the oven. It’s one of my family's favorite recipes! All this time in the house has me thinking about Jon and h…

“Republicans hope Tester faces ‘worst nightmare’ in 2024”

  Team, the headline says it all: The mud has already started slinging in Montana’s U.S. Senate race. Mitch McConnell and his GOP cronies are prepared to do whatever it takes to stop Jon—including launching vicious ads to mislead voters. That’s because they know Jon’s not like most p…

Here’s the reality
