Hi John,
Problem: Big money in Maine Politics
Solution: Betsy authored the Clean Elections Act
In 1996, Betsy helped write and pass the Clean Elections Act in Maine to remove the corrupting influence of big money in our state races. The act also requires politicians who accept public money to participate in public debates. But now, Betsy’s running against Sara Gideon, a candidate who has
skipped every debate so far, who still
won’t answer unscripted questions, and who
raises most of her money outside of Maine.
Can you support Betsy’s campaign today and help get big money out of politics?
Betsy could’ve taken the easy route, John. She could have chased after out-of-state high-dollar donors, but that’s not the person she is nor the Senator we need. Betsy’s running to represent Mainers, not political insiders. She’s not taking corporate PAC money or federal lobbyist money. Hers is a grassroots campaign, and we are all the better for it.
We need a Senator who represents all Mainers. Can you chip in today to help make that happen?

Betsy will continue working in Washington for fair elections because she is dedicated to democracy, to getting big money out of politics, and to shifting the focus from corporations and special interest groups back to
you: The individual, hard-working American with interests that deserve to be represented both in Maine and in Washington.
Please consider supporting Betsy’s campaign today
Betsy is the only candidate in the race who supports Medicare for All and the Green New Deal AND can beat Susan Collins. It’s time we stood up to politics as usual – showing how the way forward is with grassroots, people-powered campaigns rather than campaigns run by political insider money and out-of-touch pollsters.
In solidarity,
