Last week, former State Sen. Joe Balyeat (R-Bozeman) was announced as the new Director of Americans for Prosperity (AFP) in Montana. This week, AFP is blasting Senator Jon Tester (D-MT) with a $400,000 statewide TV ad buy. They are also are making a significant push with radio ads as well, based on what I am hearing.
Democrats are countering with a $400K ad buy of their own, as Roll Call reports. (View both the AFP and the DSCC ad below)
But, as you can see by the picture above, AFP is going beyond just an ad buy. This week, they’re hammering Senator Jon Tester (D-MT) with a statewide bus tour called the “Tester Truth Tour.”
The tour will feature stops in Kalispell, Hamilton, Great Falls, Bozeman, and Billings. Click here for event details in each city.
