Montana Professional Firefighters Endorsement
Official Endorsement of Jon Tester for U.S. Senate
We, the Montana Professional Firefighters, are proud to endorse Senator Jon Tester for his 4th term in the U.S. Senate. Since his first run in 2006, Jon has been a steadfast ally of firefighters across Montana, fighting for critical legislation, securing millions in SAFER and AFG grants, and ensuring our members have the resources needed to keep our communities safe.
Jon Tester has secured millions for firefighter staffing, training, and equipment, including $4.4 million for Bozeman firefighters and $7 million for Missoula. He’s been a consistent voice for first responders, sponsoring legislation to support cancer-stricken firefighters, push for firefighter station infrastructure improvements, and increase benefits for the families of fallen heroes through the PSOB program.
Montana firefighters know loyalty when we see it, and Jon has stood with us time and time again. That's why we proudly stand with him.
- Signed, President George Richards
As firefighters, our duty is to serve and protect our communities. But it’s also our responsibility to support leaders who ensure we have the tools, resources, and protections needed to do our jobs safely and effectively. Jon Tester has consistently championed our causes, from funding fire station improvements to advocating for the health and safety of first responders. This endorsement is not about politics—it's about loyalty, safety, and trust.
