First elected to represent Montana in the Senate in 2007, Tester has attempted to mark 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 Federal Election Commission (FEC) data from 2021.
Additionally, Tester reported thousands of dollars worth of stock and other investments, as well as bank deposits, in the 2021 records.
While his net worth is partially made up of the value of his farmland and associated assets he owns, Tester's campaign and leadership PAC have spent at least $1.2 million on restaurants and on catered events since 2006, according to campaign finance records.
First reported by the Washington Free Beacon, the spending at restaurants includes more than $270,000 on meals since 2019.
The spending by 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, highlighted by the Free Beacon as a "Washington mainstay where eight-ounce steaks run $53 and margaritas cost $35 a pop."
During his Senate career, Tester has also spent heavily at swanky places like Del Frisco's steakhouse and RPM Italian, spending $8,100 and $6,000 at each restaurant, respectively. Additionally, the Tester campaign has indulged at Bistro Cacao, where Tester has spent $15,745, and Bistro Bis, an upscale French restaurant where he's spent more than $9,000.
