John,
Maine Democrats just did what leadership requires. They called on their own Senate nominee to withdraw, because standing with women and survivors does not bend based on party affiliation.
He has now withdrawn.
Now Mainers need support behind their nominee to defeat Susan Collins. Doing the right thing cannot cost Maine Democrats a Senate seat.
We can help Maine elect a new Democratic ally in the Senate to help support Senator Wyden and Senator Merkley.
Susan Collins raises money every single day.
Will you make a small contribution today knowing it goes directly to putting organizers, voter contact, and airtime in place for Maine's next nominee's first day?
So the Maine Democratic Party is opening the Day One Fund: money raised now, held ready, so that the moment our new nominee is chosen, they inherit a running start instead of an empty account.
Day one, they will need a statewide organizing operation already paid for.
Day one, they will need voter contact already underway in all 16 counties.
Day one, they will need to answer Collins on the air, not spend a month catching up.
Join us in support of Maine Dems, chip in to the Day One Fund by splitting a contribution between Oregon and Maine Dems, so their next nominee starts ready.
Thank you for your support,
Oregon Democrats
