GRAHAM FOR MAINE
I’m not taking money from AIPAC or corporations, so any amount you can afford to give goes a long way.
I’m Graham Platner, the Marine Corps veteran and oyster farmer running for Senate against Susan Collins here in Maine. I am asking you to donate to my campaign. Whatever you can. We refuse to take money from billionaires and from AIPAC, and for that reason, we are very reliant on small-dollar donations. I know the value of a dollar. I work on the ocean with my hands. I’m a working-class guy, and I don’t make a lot of money. Asking for even a small amount is asking a lot. But for us to win this, for us to build the organization and capacity to fight and win and take back the Senate in 2026, I need your help. Please, will you make a monthly donation now to my campaign to help me defeat Susan Collins, turn Maine blue, and take back the Senate for Democrats?
