If we wanted to sell off Montana's public lands to for profit prospectors, like Tim Sheehy does, we'd doctor our ads to hide it, too. Veterans use our public lands for healing and "walking off the war." Sheehy betrays us when he promises to sell off those lands to his billionaire pals. That's why the only vote in #MTSen is a friend of Veterans, Jon Tester.

It Sure Looks Like This GOP Senate Hopeful Doctored One Of His Campaign Ads

In a recent TV spot, the logo of a controversial think tank is mysteriously missing from Tim Sheehy’s shirt.

The campaign of Montana GOP Senate candidate Tim Sheehy appears to have doctored a recent TV advertisement to remove a logo of the Property and Environment Research Center from the shirt he was wearing. PERC is a Montana-based think tank with a history of advocating for the privatization of federal public lands, which has become a central issue in the race.

Earlier this month, Sheehy’s campaign sent out public land-focused mailers to Montana voters. The mailer features a picture of Sheehy sitting at a campsite with his family and wearing a flannel shirt with the PERC logo clearly visible on one sleeve.

“Tim Sheehy knows public lands belong in public hands,” it reads.

This reporter posted the image on X (formerly Twitter), and another X user, an apparent Sheehy supporter, accused HuffPost of circulating an edited image.

i'm told these pro-public land mailers are landing in Montana voters' mailboxes

look closely and you'll notice Sheehy is wearing a PERC shirt

PERC is the nonprofit that Sheehy failed to disclose his board post at & that has a history of advocating for privatizing public lands

1. Tim Sheehy is as bad as they come.

I keep hearing he’s ahead of Jon Tester in the polls…which is stunning if true. This guy lies as much as any rethug I’ve seen. And he WILL sell off public land. For real. The DNC really should be spending money and energy here in MT to re-elect Jon Tester. A visit from Tim Walz wouldn’t hurt either. Jon Tester could be the difference in Dems getting a SCOTUS pick or two or losing the court for generations.
