Hello,

Last night, Democrats won across the country. From Virginia, New Jersey, and New York to here in Maine – where we defeated a billionaire-backed voter suppression referendum and saved absentee voting.

These victories belong to us.

People volunteered and donated and voted because we didn’t just have an election… We had a democracy to protect. And we won resoundingly. Thousands of volunteers with our campaign knocked on tens of thousands of doors here in Maine – and this is just the beginning.

If Susan Collins didn’t understand before, maybe she will now. Because we are ready to crawl over broken glass to vote her out next November if need be.

We aren’t just building a campaign to defeat Susan Collins. We are building a working class movement – one that is going to stand up to Donald Trump, Chuck Schumer, the oligarchy, AIPAC, corporate special interests, and anyone else who gets in our way.

The midterm elections next year are democracy versus fascism. The working class versus the oligarchy. People versus money.

I know what side I am on.

Today, we celebrate. Tomorrow, the work and the fight continues.

In solidarity,

Graham Platner
