Betsy Sweet

Betsy Sweet is running for US Senate against Susan Collins because now is the time for urgent and bold action. We have serious challenges in our communities and our families, and we used to think that Susan Collins had our backs. But this past year has shown us that Susan Collins is not on our side.
