Jon Tester Takes Private Meeting With Pole Dancer To Talk Abortion
Every vote counts. That's especially true for Montana Democrat Jon Tester, who faces the toughest Senate reelection race in the country this November—which may help explain why he privately met with a professional pole dancer earlier this month.
Tester’s public schedule reveals a private meeting with Tiffany Rose and Jamie Goguen on Sept. 19, between two Senate floor sessions. Rose is a Montana resident and self-described "pole dance instructor" with tens of thousands of followers on social media.
A spokeswoman for Tester did not respond to a request for comment.
Such a meeting is peculiar for Tester, who represents a deep-red state. His Republican opponent, businessman Tim Sheehy, has led in a string of recent polls with a message that Tester is "too liberal for Montana."
The topic of their meeting appears to be abortion. Rose, in a statement to the Washington Free Beacon, said she is a "new member/volunteer on the Leadership Council for Reproductive Freedom for All."
"I got to meet Senator Tester and his team. I shook his hand and thanked him for his support on this salient freedom issue while visiting D.C," Rose said.
The Leadership Council for Reproductive Freedom for All describes itself as "the nation’s only cross-state network for state legislators who support reproductive health, rights, and justice." The organization’s political arm endorsed Tester in December 2023 and said the senator "remains committed to locking the right to abortion into federal law."
Rose appears to be a local celebrity of sorts. She has more than 19,000 followers on Instagram, where she regularly posts raunchy videos of her acrobatics on a stripper pole.
Rose’s performances have led to two professional sponsorships, her Instagram states. A link in her Instagram bio directs to a variety of online pole dancing classes, with options such as "feel sexy on the floor" and "hot pole girl summer."
"Any Pole Dancer will tell you how addictive it is," the website reads. "Feeling strong, sexy, and confident whilst wearing a pair of 7 or 8" stilettos... there is nothing like it!"
Rose was the RacingJunk "Pinup of the Week" in February 2020 and posed in front of a 1965 Ford Mustang Fastback. "I am a corrective exercise specialist, performance enhancement coach, and professional pole dancer," Rose said in an interview.
Tester is a collector of cars, a hobby that was showcased in a 2008 issue of Driving Force magazine. Among his collection is a '26 Ford Model T, a '38 Chevy Sedan, and a Toyota Prius, which he uses in Washington, D.C.
Rose told RacingJunk that she plans to eventually move back to Los Angeles to "perform more." Her current credits include the role of "Stripper #2" in the television show Wives with Knives and a spot in Pole Dance: Inside the World of Art as Fitness.
