Iโ€™m Dan Kleban, founder of Maine Beer Company, and I just announced my campaign to defeat Susan Collins in Maine. Now I know it sounds ambitious, but get this: Only 14% of Mainers approve of her, while 61% (!!!) disapprove. Thatโ€™s why experts are saying this race is one of Democratsโ€™ best chances to flip a Senate seat from red to blue. But as a Washington outsider taking on a career politician, Iโ€™m going to need all the help I can get to win this. So please, can I count on you to chip in and become a founding donor to my campaign today?
