    MATT ROSENDALE/NRSC – CHOICE FACT CHECK OVERVIEW • Jon Tester, as Ranking Member of the Homeland Security Appropriations Subcommittee, has been a leader in working with the Trump Administration to secure our borders, and has fought tirelessly throughout his career to put more boots on the ground and deploy technology to secure the Northern and Southern borders. • Matt Rosendale has repeatedly opposed efforts to keep Montanans safe – he was called out by the Billings Gazette for being one of only seven state senators to vote against legislation to toughen penalties for human trafficking, voted against creating a permanent sexual assault prosecution office in the Montana Department of Justice, and voted against funding a service to notify victims or sex crimes when their attacker was released from prison. • Matt Rosendale is a multimillionaire East Cost real estate developer who moved to Montana after buying a $2 million trophy ranch that he doesn’t even ranch himself; he’s a political opportunist who has run for 5 offices in 8 years and who started his campaign with a “pants on fire” lie about Jon Tester’s record. Rosendale was hand- picked by Washington insiders and special interests; his campaign has been propped up by millions in dark money outside spending – he’ll do their bidding, not what’s best for Montana.

    Endorsement Committee This year, we formed an Endorsement Committee comprised of 18 members plus additional Libertarian leadership; the “Committee.” The Committee members conducted their own independent research on each of the candidates and asked them questions at our events. The Committee members took notes and made recommendations on grades and endorsements. Endorsement Committee Chair: Jason Weinman Committee Members: Jason G Smith Jim Duensing Jason Nellis Lesley Chan John McCormack JD Smith Lou Pombo Brady Bowyer Scott Lafata Tim Hagan Brett H. Pojunis Brandon Ellyson Debra Dedmon Nick Klein Andrew Lea Ross Williams Tarina Dark Steve Brown Format - Why "Speed Dating?" The Libertarian Party of Nevada hosted "Speed Dating" events over 2 days at different venues in Las Vegas. The goal was to meet as many candidates as possible in a format similar to speed dating. LPNevada endorsed Candidates in non‐partisan races and graded Candidates in partisan races for the 2014 General Elections. Most organizations do not get one‐on‐one interaction with the candidates; we felt this is important. Endorsements and Grading Non‐Partisan candidates received either a positive (thumbs up) or negative (thumbs down) endorsement from the Committee. Partisan Candidates received a grade of 1 to 5 stars. Candidates who received 1 star were not very Libertarian and candidates who received 5 stars were very good in regards to their position on issues important to Libertarians. The Libertarian Party of Nevada has the following 15 Candidate on the 2014 Ballot.
