Mills for Maine

ad creative

Letโ€™s flip this seat ๐Ÿ”ต

Help Janet defeat Susan Collins and flip the Senate blue!

Ad copy

Susan Collins has held Maineโ€™s Senate seat for 28 years. For most of that time, political experts considered her unbeatable, and Republicans assumed Maine would stay in their column forever. But a brand-new poll shows Janet Mills TIED with Susan Collins! 43% to 43% โ€“ a dead heat. This tied poll is proof we can win. But it's also a warning: this race will come down to who wants it more and fights harder for it. Janet needs you in this fight now more than ever. Not tomorrow, not next week โ€“ right now, while we have momentum and we still have time to define this election on our terms. Your generosity would go a long way in helping our campaign defeat Susan Collins, flip Maine blue, and retake the Senate. ๐๐ฅ๐ž๐š๐ฌ๐ž, ๐ฐ๐ข๐ฅ๐ฅ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ ๐œ๐ก๐ข๐ฉ ๐ข๐ง $๐Ÿ๐ŸŽ ๐จ๐ซ ๐ฐ๐ก๐š๐ญ๐ž๐ฏ๐ž๐ซ ๐Ÿ๐ž๐ž๐ฅ๐ฌ ๐ซ๐ข๐ ๐ก๐ญ ๐ญ๐จ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ ๐ญ๐จ๐๐š๐ฒ?

Standout elementDark red background with repeated fading '28 YEARS. SAME RESULT.' text layered behind an unflattering close-up photo of Collins, creating a suffocating sense of stagnation
TacticThe ad uses a tied poll as both a credibility hook and urgency trigger โ€” framing competitive viability to overcome donor fatigue while pairing a grim visual of the incumbent with a stagnation message to drive small-dollar fundraising.
