John,
Donald Trump just said from the Oval Office that I’m a “thug” and “worse than any human being that’s ever run for office probably.”
From Donald Trump, that just might be the highest compliment that I have ever received…
He’s right that there aren’t a lot of other people like me. You know – people who actually served their country, fought in this nation’s wars, came home, started a business, lived down here in the real world, have spent years being involved in my local community, and then one day decided to run for the U.S. Senate.
But for Donald Trump to come after me personally, that might be the nicest thing anybody’s ever said about me.
The reason he’s doing it isn’t hard to understand: He’s scared. He knows that we’re coming after him. He knows that when we win this election, when we defeat Susan Collins, and when we take back the Senate with Democrats actually willing to fight and hold Trump and his cronies accountable… He knows what’s coming. We’ve got him shaking in his boots. And he should be. Because we are coming.
We’re building something here in Maine the likes of which has not been seen before. We’re building a grassroots working-class movement that is going to take on the Epstein class, Donald Trump, and all of his depraved billionaire friends who think that because of their money and their power and influence, that they’re somehow above the law.
They’re about to find out that they’re not, in fact, above the law. And it’s got them terrified. That’s why they’re using their immense wealth to try to stop us. It’s why they’re spending $99 million on negative TV ads to pummel us with attacks across the entire state.
They know that the path to a Democratic Senate runs straight through Maine and requires defeating Susan Collins. And they’re spending accordingly to try to stop us.
The polls show an incredibly close race. We can fight back and win this, but I’m not taking money from corporate PACs or special interests like AIPAC.

They’re panicking. Let’s show them why they should.
