My name is Graham Platner, and I’m the Marine Corps veteran and Democrat running for U.S. Senate against Susan Collins here in Maine.

When I spoke with so many of you on PCCC's Zoom call the other day, I walked away honestly moved. The Progressive Change Campaign Committee has already been an indispensable partner in helping this campaign break through. Thank you for showing up.

That call came with some big news. As the Huffington Post, Newsweek, Zeteo, and others reported that day, the PCCC’s new polling shows our campaign with a commanding 58% - 38% lead over Gov. Janet Mills in the Democratic primary.

But here is a truth I shared with PCCC members on the call: Momentum is not a plan. It only becomes something real if we keep building on it.

Please, will you split a donation right now between our campaign and the PCCC to help me defeat Susan Collins, flip Maine blue, and take back the Senate for Democrats?

We need to utilize the levers of power that exist in the Senate to push back effectively against the unconstitutional, illegal activities of the Trump administration. But too many Democratic leaders aren’t doing jack right now to fight back. We're not going to be able to build something new using the exact same people who built the system we have at this moment.

John, I’m not going to speak in platitudes or shy away from what I believe. There is a war going on in this country, and the oligarchy and the fascists are winning right now.

People are being kidnapped into unmarked vans by masked police.

Literal billionaires have taken over our government.

Susan Collins is the most vulnerable Republican senator in the country. We have an opportunity to replace her with a working-class Democrat who will actually fight to defend our democracy – and one who won’t take money from corporations or AIPAC!

Please, will you split a donation right now between our campaign and the PCCC to help me defeat Susan Collins?

In the history of this nation, power has never been just willingly handed to the people. Another mealy-mouthed Democrat isn’t going to fix things or protect our constitution.

I’m ready to go to the United States Senate and fight – but I need your help today to get there.

In solidarity,

– Graham Platner, Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate in Maine
