His wikipedia profile: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jon_Tester. Owns and operates a family farm. Lost 3 fingers in a meat grinder as a child. Yes man for President Obama. January 13, 2009, during Tester's second session of Congress, he was given a seat on the Appropriations Committee.[32] In 2013, Tester became chairman of the Banking Committee's Securities, Insurance, and Investment Subcommittee.[33]

In September 2013, he announced opposition to the appointment of Larry Summers as chairman of the Federal Reserve; lacking a committee majority Summers then withdrew his name from consideration. Lots to dig through.
