Dark Money Koch Bros Group Targets Montana Senator Tester

The Judicial Crisis Network, a conservative organization that led opposition to former President Barack Obama’s Supreme Court nominee, launched a $10 million multi-state advertising campaign last month to support the confirmation of President Donald Trump’s Supreme Court nominee, Neil Gorsuch. In D.C., Indiana, Missouri, Montana, and North Dakota alone the group is spending $2 million to run online and TV ads. This is essentially an attack from big money donors: the Judicial Crisis Network is funded by the Wellspring Committee, which was established by the oil billionaire Koch brothers.



On Twitter, the group is using paid advertising to pressure Senator Jon Tester to support Gorsuch. Gorsuch has a troubling record of supporting corporations over workers and defending the increased flow of money in politics as a form of free speech. Because of his record on these and other issues, Gorsuch is a disastrous choice for the Supreme Court.

Call Senator Tester and that you think he should vote against confirming Gorsuch – 202-224-2644.

And after you call throw Jon $10 or $20 to make sure the Koch Brothers don’t buy another Senator. Jon is Montana’s, donate here: JonTester.com
