John, this isn’t our usual email, but we need you to be aware of exactly what’s happening here in Maine.
An extreme candidate from Maine has become the national face of far-left radicals. Graham Platner says he can't be bought, yet he is funded by dark money groups. He says he won't be coerced by the Democrat party, but he eagerly takes Chuck Schumer's calls.
The Maine Senate race should be about what Maine voters care about and want. But Graham Platner has transformed it to be about the cares of the left-wing media and anonymous funders.
These puppeteers are putting him on the cover of TIME, they are doing exclusive New York Times interviews with him, and pouring hundreds of millions of dark Left money into Maine.
The national media has decided that he is their poster boy. They are using every tool in their arsenal to brainwash the American public. They are portraying him as a patriot. As a champion of the "working class." To whitewash his tattered background of Nazi support, to downplay his horrifying and disturbing comments about women being raped, to erase his consistent lies.
John, we need your support immediately. The future of the Senate runs through Maine. The Left knows this, and this is why they are fighting so hard. If Maine turns blue, so does the nation.
The next 5 months are going to be ugly. Team Collins is going up against a national Democrat money machine to the likes of which no one has ever seen before.
We do not need to outraise Graham Platner, but we need to raise enough to fight back. In 2020, our team was outraised by 4x, and we were victorious. That is because we run a smart and efficient campaign. We know how to reach voters, but it takes funds to do so.
We need your immediate help. Your donation of $25 or more right now will go a long way. And if you can commit to becoming a monthly sustaining donor for the next 5 months, that would be even more incredible.
We didn’t write this to you lightly. The issues our nation faces right now are grave and serious. And if we were to lose this Senate race, we'd be handing the keys to someone who is, without question, dangerous and manipulable.
It's a very scary thought.
Susan’s going to give this race everything she’s got, and she’s enlisted the strongest campaign team possible. The only thing missing is your support. John, we hope we can count on you right now.
Team Collins
