GRAHAM FOR MAINE

ad creative

Are you ready to defeat Susan Collins?

I’m not taking money from AIPAC or corporations, so any amount you can afford to give goes a long way.

Ad copy

My name is Graham Platner and I’m running for US Senate to defeat Susan Collins and topple the oligarchy that’s destroying our country. I’m a veteran, oysterman, and working class Mainer who’s seen this state become unlivable for working people. And that makes me deeply angry. If you’re ready to defeat Susan Collins and replace her with a Democrat – who will actually fight to protect our democracy against fascists – then I need you chip in right now to my campaign. Please, will you make a monthly donation right now to my campaign – whatever you can afford – to help me defeat Susan Collins, take back the Senate, and elect a Democrat who won’t take money from AIPAC or the billionaires? I never thought I’d run for office, let alone the United States Senate. But this is just too important a time in our history for me to sit on the sidelines. I am grateful for anything you can chip in to help power this campaign. In solidarity, Graham Platner
