Montana and Washington, D.C., were still awaiting final results in the state’s closely watched U.S. Senate race between Democratic Sen. Jon Tester and political newcomer Republican Tim Sheehy at 10 p.m. on election night.

I’m Jon Tester. I’ve lived down a long dirt road outside of Big Sandy all my life, where I still farm the same land my grandparents homesteaded more than 100 years ago. For me Montana always comes first — and I’ll work with anyone, including Republicans, to defend our state.
