Tester pushes jobs in Indian Country
Senator Jon Tester is focused on opportunities for job creation and stronger economies in Indian Country. At a Senate Banking Committee hearing dedicated to sharing ideas for progress in Indian Country, Tester made it clear that Indian Country's economic challenges can be overcome by smart policies and investment in education and economic growth. "Tribes hold great potential for traditional and renewable energy development, agriculture, tourism, government contracting and other small business opportunities," Tester said. "And it's my job -- and that of the committee -- to make it as easy as possible for tribal members to seize those possibilities."
