GRAHAM FOR MAINE

Urgent Message

I'm running against Susan Collins, AIPAC, Super PACs, and the entire DC establishment.

Ad copy

The establishment is trying to shut us down before we even get off the ground. Susan Collins, Chuck Schumer, corporate PACs and AIPAC... They're trying to bury us before we even get started. But we are not going to be stopped. I'm running for Senate because we cannot continue sending the same establishment politicians down to Washington who built the system that we have today. We need to do something different. That is why I'm in this race. I'm not taking corporate PAC money. I'm not taking AIPAC money. And that scares them. So please, if you can, will you make a monthly donation now to our campaign to help me defeat Susan Collins, flip Maine blue, and take back the Senate for Democrats?
