Democrat Montana Sen. Jon Tester – a wealthy politician who recently took aim at “multimillionaires” and concluded that they don’t “understand what a hard day’s work looks like” – has spent his Senate career dining on sumptuous meals at high-end restaurants.

First elected to represent Montana in the Senate in 2007, Tester has sought to brand his role in the upper chamber as a “tireless defender of rural America.” His net worth is between $1,768,009 and $6,695,000, according to 2021 Federal Election Commission (FEC) data.

In addition, Tester reported thousands of dollars worth of stocks and other investments, as well as bank deposits, in its 2021 records.

While his net worth consists in part of the value of his farmland and associated assets he owns, Tester’s campaign and PAC leadership have spent at least $1.2 million on restaurants and catered events since 2006, according to campaign finance records.

The spending of the Montana Democrat, who announced last month that he would seek re-election for a fourth term in the Senate, includes $31,000 at Morton’s Steakhouse, flagged by the Free Beacon as a “mainstay in Washington where 8-ounce steaks cost $53 cost and margaritas cost $35 a pop.”

During his Senate career, Tester also spent heavily at upscale places like Del Frisco’s steakhouse and RPM Italian, spending $8,100 and $6,000 respectively at each restaurant. In addition, the Tester campaign has splurged on Bistro Cacao, where Tester spent $15,745, and Bistro Bis, an upscale French restaurant where he spent more than $9,000.

Tester’s office did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Fox News Digital’s spending.

I run to keep fighting for you, to keep fighting for the values ​​of Montana, the state we all love.”
