As health care providers, hospital leaders, nurses, and support staff who serve or have served rural Montana communities, we condemn the recent television ads and full-page advertisements by Jon Tester's campaign and the absolute lies being told to our fellow neighbors.
The ads, some of which use the names and photos of local hospitals, falsely accuse Tim Sheehy of threatening rural hospitals, misleading the patients we serve.
Some of us have gotten to know Tim through his and his wife’s philanthropy supporting Montana health care, or have had the opportunity to hear him speak during his run for office.
Tim has always been clear about the importance of increasing access and lowering costs to affordable, high quality health care, supporting rural hospitals, and protecting Montanans with pre-existing conditions.
Whether through his philanthropy, or in public office, we trust Tim Sheehy to ensure we can continue to deliver the critical health care services our communities depend upon.
