What Can I Say?

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

Is there anything I can say to convince you to make a donation to my campaign to defeat Susan Collins before midnight tonight? What if I told you that I am the Marine Corps veteran and oyster farmer running as a Democrat against Susan Collins here in Maine? What if I told you that Susan Collins is the most vulnerable Republican senator in the entire country? What if I told you that I’m not afraid to support Medicare for All or call what’s happened in Gaza a genocide? What if I told you that the future of our very democracy hinges on defeating Susan Collins and taking back the Senate this November? And what if I told you that I’m not taking money from AIPAC or the billionaires, so the only way we’ll defeat Susan Collins and take back the Senate is if you chip in now? We need to raise another $100,000 before our midnight fundraising deadline if we’re going to win and flip this Senate seat blue, but right now, we’re still very short. If I’m going to defeat Susan Collins, I am counting on you to give now: Please, will you make a weekly donation right now to my campaign – whatever you can afford – to help me defeat Susan Collins, flip Maine blue, and take back the Senate for Democrats? We aren’t going to defeat Susan Collins with another cookie-cutter corporate Democrat. But if I’m going to fight back against AIPAC and the billionaire Super PACs, I am counting on your support now. We can win this seat for working-class people. But we can only do it together. In solidarity, Graham Platner
