U.S. Sen. Jon Tester met with law enforcement officials from Flathead and Lincoln counties in Kalispell on Friday to discuss crime prevention, fentanyl interdiction and border security efforts.
The three-term Democrat — who is running for reelection this year — joined a roundtable discussion March 15 that included Flathead County Sheriff Brian Heino, Lincoln County Sheriff Darren Short, Columbia Falls Police Chief Clint Peters, Kalispell Police Chief Jordan Venezio, Deputy Chief Kevin Conway of the Whitefish Police Department and members of the Northwest Montana Drug Task Force. The gathering was held in the Flathead County Sheriff’s Office.
Ahead of his trip to Kalispell, Tester touted his work in Congress to clamp down on the illicit supply of fentanyl, including co-sponsoring the FEND Off Fentanyl Act, which the Senate passed as part of a national security package in February.
