Tester launches Senate General Aviation Caucus
Senator is founding member of group supporting Montana jobs
(WASHINGTON, D.C.) – Senator Jon Tester today helped launch the Senate
General Aviation Caucus, a bipartisan group of Senators dedicated to
an industry that supports Montana jobs.
Montana is home to more than 4,000 general aviation pilots and planes,
and 123 airports.
The industry supports nearly 1.3 million good-paying jobs across the
United States.
“My focus is on rebuilding our economy by creating and keeping Montana
jobs,” Tester said. “General aviation is an economic engine that
supports jobs in Montana. We’re going to work together to make sure
this important industry has the support it needs.”
General aviation includes all aviation except commercial and military.
The Senate General Aviation Caucus includes 23 Senators—Republicans
and Democrats—from across the country.
