In recent months, Senator Tester has been actively working to re-write legislation previously passed by DC's elected city council. His efforts would drastically modify local laws regarding semiautomatic weapons, ammunition, and firearm registration requirements that were passed by the duly elected leaders of the city of Washington.
"We wanted to make sure that people in Montana know that Senator Tester isn't giving his full attention to the state. He seems to be more interested in getting involved in 'big city' politics as opposed to serving his own constituents," said Mike Panetta, "Shadow" U.S. Representative for the District of Columbia and Treasurer of the Free and Equal DC Fund.
"I'm sure the Montana families that have lost their jobs or are facing foreclosure are thrilled that their U.S. Senator is meddling in the local affairs of a city over 2,000 miles away instead of focusing on their needs," said Panetta.
"If Senator Tester is so interested in writing local laws for the District of Columbia, perhaps he should consider running for mayor," Panetta added. "There's still time to file for the September primary."
