GRAHAM FOR MAINE
I’m not taking money from AIPAC or corporations, so any amount you can afford to give goes a long way.
Hey everyone. Graham Platner here, the oyster farmer and Marine Corps veteran running against Susan Collins for U.S. Senate up in Maine. We're going to try something new today: We're a little bit short of our fundraising goal to beat Susan Collins, and so I'm just going to ask you for $1. Yep, just $1. I know a single dollar is not a lot, but if you add it together with the thousands and thousands of others who pitch in, it's what's going to get us across the finish line. There was a poll recently that shows me leading Susan Collins in the general election, and that means that the establishment money is about to turn on. The Super PACs and the corporate PACs are going to try to bury us under money and under TV ads. The only way we can fight back is by raising money from small-dollar donors like yourself. So please, will you chip in $1 monthly right now to our campaign – more if you can afford to! – and help me defeat Susan Collins, flip Maine blue, and take back the Senate for Democrats?
