With polling showing Senator Tester in dire straits, out-of-state environmental extremists are coming in full force to bail out his failing campaign.
The League of Conservation Voters, a dark money group who describes its core mission as pushing the “climate agenda launched by President Obama,” today plopped down $500,000 in new ad spending to save their favorite environmental extremist in the Senate: Jon Tester.
Remember, it wasn’t too long ago Two Faced Jon Tester promised he’s “not going to rely on super PACs or dark money groups” and was “not going to let a group come in that’s funded by folks outside the State of Montana.”
But like so much that Two Faced Tester says, turns out his word to Montanans means nothing.

In February 2018, Tester sent out a fundraising email saying his campaign was “not going to rely on super PACs or dark money groups.” (Tester Fundraising Email, 2/27/18)
