LOGO [[link removed]]Hi John,
The Maine Senate Democratic Primary debate just ended. I answered a lot of questions, but one none of us could answer was: Why is Sara Gideon refusing to debate?
If you think all Democrats should be held accountable to voice their opinions and speak with constituents, will you support my campaign today? [[link removed]]
It is critical that Mainers hear from every Democrat in the race right now before early voting starts. Both Bre Kidman and I were there, but Sara Gideon decided at the last moment to not attend. In my opinion, that’s disrespectful not just to me and Bre, but to Maine voters.
Can you support my campaign today? We need a Senator who shows up and is ready to tackle our nation’s issues head-on. [[link removed]]

Here are some of the questions that Democrats across Maine hoped Sara Gideon would answer: * 
   At
   a
   time
   when
   COVID-19
   has
   left
   millions
   of
   Americans
   out
   of
   work
   and
   without
   health
   insurance,
   why
   doesn’t
   Sara
   support
   Medicare
   for
   All?
 * 
   With
   unchecked
   CO2
   emissions
   skyrocketing
   and
   climate
   change
   threatening
   our
   environment,
   why
   doesn’t
   Sara
   support
   the
   Green
   New
   Deal?
 * 
   Susan
   Collins
   has
   spent
   the
   last
   six
   years
   avoiding
   any
   unscripted
   question
   –
   so
   why
   is
   Sara
   imitating
   her?
The old politics of ducking debates and avoiding unscripted questions does not work given the level of crises we face. It's playing it too safe; it's too fearful; it's too afraid to lead. Sara’s absence today speaks volumes.
We don’t need more of the same. Maine needs a Senator who is not afraid to lead, who is not afraid to be accountable to voters. Can you chip in today to help make that happen? [[link removed]]
