I should have mentioned that Jon Tester is a farmer and a musician. He has a bachelor's degree in music and taught music in a school near his family's farm. He converted the family homestead to organic farming a few years ago. He became involved in politics when Montana deregulated the power utility. He led the state legislature and has helped in the movement to renewable energy. He is running against Conrad Burns, the senator who is most notorious for sticking his foot in his mouth at every opportunity and being associated with the Jack Abramoff lobbyist scandal. Conrad Burns should be replaced in the senate, and Jon Tester has the people's support here. Unfortunately, Burns has big Republican money behind him.
