Recently, Senator Jon Tester’s campaign has circulated newspaper advertisements bragging about having procured millions of dollars in federal funding for local law enforcement. However, multiple county sheriffs have now called Tester’s ads “misleading”.
In a Facebook post, Roosevelt County Sheriff Jason Frederick issued the following statement:
I am not supporting either candidate, but as your Sheriff I must inform you this recent campaign ad for Jon Tester is false and misleading. I have reached out to his office with no response. My question is where is this 1.8 million in funding for Roosevelt County law enforcement? I have reached out to the commissioners, WP Mayor, and Tribal Chief of police. Nobody knows anything about this 1.8 million. Our citizens In Roosevelt County are suffering in every way because of drugs. I know 1.8 million would sure help us with many issues here In Roosevelt County. read more
