Friend,

Susan Collins' approval rating is underwater -- but that just means the GOP will be in an all-out sprint to keep this seat.

That's why we need to support Sara Gideon right now.

While Susan Collins might have been different from others in Washington before, that's no longer the case -- she puts herself before Maine families, and Republican interests before the interests of her fellow Mainers.

Sara Gideon will always put Maine families first -- and I need her by my side in the Senate. Help her start 2020 strong: Donate $5.00 or more to help her raise $5,000 by tonight's end-of-quarter deadline.

After Susan Collins finally announced her re-election, a secretive super PAC has already dropped hundreds of thousands on TV ads bolstering her campaign.

This is the kind of campaign Susan Collins and the GOP want to run -- but we know the truth. We won't forget that Susan Collins has worked in lock-step with President Trump from day one -- pushing through his extreme judges, apologizing for his disgusting rhetoric, and ignoring his obscene corruption.

Mainers need someone who will fight for them in Washington and stand up to Mitch McConnell, Donald Trump, and the Republican Party's attacks on women and families. When Republicans seem zeroed in on stripping women's rights, we need a real champion in the Senate -- a true leader. Luckily, NARAL calls Sara Gideon "a leader in the fight for reproductive freedom."

I need Sara Gideon beside me in the Senate, but we need to raise $5,000 by tonight's end-of-quarter deadline. Donate $5.00 or more now to fund the fight ahead in 2020.

Sincerely,

Chuck Schumer
