Hey John,
We have big news to share:
A Republican challenger has officially filed to run against Chellie next November. That means our campaign is officially in full swing.
We don’t usually give credence to her right-wing opponents, and you shouldn’t, either — but here’s a quote we got from this candidate so far:
“Maine deserves a leader who shows up, speaks plainly, and fights hard.”
Great soundbite, but we know that Chellie has been showing up for Maine families, fighting every single day to protect Medicaid coverage for over 400,000 Mainers, safeguarding funding for public education, and protecting immigrants -- our friends and neighbors -- from being scooped up by masked agents and deported to foreign gulags.
That's why we’re doubling down now and need to build toward the midterms with one clear goal: retain Chellie’s seat and flip the House to Democratic control.
We've got a $15,000 grassroots goal before midnight on July 31 to launch our campaign to reach voters and ensure Chellie continues fighting for us.
If you've saved payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:
Chellie's been standing up every day for us -- now it's time for us to stand up for her.
Thank you for everything you do.
