On Tuesday, Democratic Senator Jon Tester filed for public office as he runs for re-election.

The incumbent senator was joined by his family at the capitol building this afternoon.

He says being a farmer will be beneficial if re-elected because he's able to provide an explanation of rural America to the Senate.

In respect to political ads, Tester says he'll use money to use positive commercials for his campaign, but he will also compare opponents’ records in an honest manner.

He says, “But one thing is for certain, and I’m as frustrated as anyone in this state; is that we don’t work together back there. This state was built by folks working together. It’s part of who we are. People in Washington DC, people in Congress need to start taking a lesson from Montana and start working together, and I think things will start moving faster if we do that.”

The senate race is already gaining much national attention as Tester is being challenged by Republican Congressman Denny Rehberg.

Tester is so out of touch with MT. He has voted with Obama 97% of the time. For Obama and Tester when they say "work together". Tat means they want everyone to agree with them. The Test is over.
