As we enter the next stage of our campaign after we received enough signatures to get Dr. Nirav Shah on the ballot, I want to give you a lay of the land.

Not only have many of our opponents had a big head start, campaigning for nearly a year already, stockpiling resources the entire time, but there are interest groups that could jump in at any moment to back them with MILLIONS to slow our momentum.

Our campaign isn’t powered by special interest groups writing giant checks, political insiders, or well-connected political dynasties — it’s powered by grassroots supporters like you.

We need to take advantage of this unique opportunity while other candidates catch up, and ensure we have the resources to compete in the next stage of the campaign.

Can you rush a donation for the first time to help us reach our $25,000 fundraising goal before tonight’s End-of-Month deadline? Every dollar you give will help provide the resources we need to prepare for the fight ahead.

This isn’t just the toughest part of our campaign — it’s also the most expensive. We’ve already held town halls across the state, meeting with some of the most engaged folks in Maine.

Now, we need to expand our reach. Because this campaign isn’t just about the most civically active Mainers, it’s about fighting for everyone who calls our state home.

But the only way we can reach folks where they are is with your help. So, please make a donation now before tonight’s deadline to ensure we have the resources to reach every corner of the state.

Together, we can overcome any challenge thrown our way and help get Dr. Shah to Augusta so we can fix housing, fund health care, feed kids, fuel growth, and fight back against the overreaches of the Trump administration.

But that’s only possible if we keep our momentum going by hitting our goal before tonight’s deadline.

Hi. It’s Nirav Shah. You may remember me from my work as Maine's CDC Director, when I led our state through the uncertainty of the pandemic.

I saw firsthand how we can get through tough times together with empathy, resilience, and vision. And I’ll bring those same values with me to Augusta to tackle the big problems. But to do that, I’m relying on grassroots supporters like you to power our campaign so we can compete in this race.

The challenges our state faces require a leader with a unique set of skills and a clear vision for how Mainers can build a better life.

You’ve trusted me to deliver amid uncertainty before, and now I’m asking for your trust again.

— Nirav
