Montana GOP Senate candidate Tim Sheehy criticized Tester for lobbyist ties, but emails show Sheehy also lobbied for government contracts.

Montana GOP Senate candidate Tim Sheehy criticized Democratic opponent Jon Tester for "eating lobbyist steak" during a debate. However, emails reveal Sheehy lobbied for government contracts for his aerial firefighting company, Bridger Aerospace, urging state officials to form a dedicated firefighting fleet. Bridger has secured contracts in nine states and Canada but faces financial struggles. Tester is the top recipient of lobbyist contributions in Congress.
