Folks,
I’m David Costello. I grew up in Old Town – a city of about 7,500 people. My father, John, was an Army veteran and AFL-CIO organizer who died early due to hazardous work conditions.

Like many in Maine, I was the first in my family to attend a four-year college and to earn a bachelor’s degree and master’s degree. Service has always been important to me – so I spent the next thirty years working in Democratic campaigns and all levels of government.

Much has changed since these pictures were taken but my love for service has not. That’s why I’ve launched a campaign to defeat Susan Collins and begin the hard work of strengthening our imperfect democracy and repairing our broken federal government.
If you’re with us in this fight and care about winning back a critical Senate seat, please consider splitting a donation of $5, $15, or whatever is meaningful to you with my campaign and iVote Fund. [[link removed]]
Collins was first elected to the Senate in 1996. She’s been there, supposedly representing Mainers for nearly thirty years, and what do we have to show for it? Not much, as far as I can tell.
She’s good at campaigning – not so good at representing. She’s managed to walk a political tightrope while the leader of her party upends our relationships around the world and reshapes our government into his own personal political machine.
She’s told us how concerned she is while the leader of her party ignores the courts and constitution, sics ICE on hardworking Americans, and ushers in a new era of hate and retribution into our democracy.
Well, I’m concerned, too. I’m concerned about Susan Collins – and with your help, I’m ready to take her on. If you’re with me, chip in a split donation with my campaign and iVote Fund. [[link removed]]

This won’t be an easy fight. But I know we can do this – for Mainers who want real representation, for Democrats who are ready to win in the midterms, and for all Americans who are ready to finally put a check on Trump’s power.
Let’s do this.
-David

iVote was created in 2014 with one goal: secure voting rights for all Americans.
Rather than take on challenges in the court after unfair laws have passed, iVote plays defense on voter suppression efforts AND goes on offense to secure and expand access to voting.
Going on offense is critical. We have the chance to elect Secretaries of State that will protect our elections for years to come. But Republicans are already suppressing and blocking certain citizens from exercising their fundamental right to vote.

We need a massive coalition to register new voters and protect our right to vote in this election and beyond.
We know you get a lot of emails, but it's only because this fight is so important. We need you to stick with us long term. But if you must go, you can unsubscribe.
