(NBC News) Tiffany Muller, president of End Citizens United, a Democratic group opposed to the unlimited political spending practices ushered in by the Supreme Court’s 2010 decision in the landmark Citizens United case, defended Tester’s record. Muller’s group is among those rallying around Tester’s revolving door legislation.

“From day one, Sen. Tester has pushed to ban lawmakers from becoming lobbyists, require greater transparency, and end dark money in our elections — which has made him the top target for out-of-state special interests,” Muller said. “While multimillionaire Tim Sheehy faces questions about ethics and conflict of interest, Sen. Tester has stayed true to his roots and always fought for working Montanans.”
