“On behalf of the National Federation of Federal Employees (NFFE), representing more than 110,000 federal employees in Montana and across the country, I am pleased to offer this endorsement for the reelection of Senator Jon Tester,” said Steve Lenkart, NFFE Executive Director. “Senator Tester is a long standing supporter and leader in the fight for a federal civil service that is apolitical, fair, effective, efficient, and, most importantly, free from political overreach and corruption. For these reasons and more, including support for our nation’s wildland firefighters, NFFE offers its full endorsement and support to Senator Tester for a successful re-election campaign season in 2024.”

“Our civil service employees dedicate their careers to serving our country, and Montana,” said Senator Jon Tester. “I’m grateful for NFFE’s endorsement, and from our Park Service employees to our wildland firefighters, I’ll fight like hell for hardworking Montanans and our public servants to ensure they have fair wages, safe working conditions, and quality benefits for themselves and their families.”
