Fox News
Sen. Jon Tester,D-Mont., is facing an ethics complaint from a government watchdog after he used his official Senate website to promote his vulnerable 2024 re-election campaign.
In a letter addressed to committee chair Chris Coons, D-Del., and ranking member James Lankford, R-Okla., Caitlin Sutherland, who serves as the executive director for the government watchdog group, wrote, "The posted article, which focuses almost exclusively on his reelection, includes an interview with Senator Tester himself and is rife with campaign rhetoric."

"Topics included in the article range from the amount of campaign cash he has raised for his reelection to political consultants opining on his reelection chances, and even includes a history of his previous campaigns and how the GOP primary might impact his ability to be reelected," Sutherland added.
