Maine Democratic Party     Hi John, Last week, we announced a unique opportunity to hear from the Chairs of the Democratic Parties in each of the Core Four states on how we plan to do it and how you can help! In order for Democrats to flip the Senate in November, we must win in Arizona, Colora…

Campaign update

Maine Democratic Party     Hi John, I just got off the phone with Jeff Candura, our Development Director. He said that we’re behind on our fundraising this month, and that we needed to raise $4,361 by midnight tonight to get back on track to defeat Donald Trump, Susan Collins, and elect Dems u…

1,665% increase

Maine Democratic Party     Hi John, Since Susan Collins entered the Senate in 1997, the cost of a vial of insulin has increased from $17 to $300 -- a 1,665% increase. In the 23 years since Collins took office, she has talked a lot about how important helping people with diabetes is to her. But…

Take nothing for granted

Maine Democratic Party     Hi John, By now, you might have seen the latest polls: Sara Gideon is up five points against Susan Collins. I’m sure the Collins team will try to spin this. But when you vote for anti-choice judges, help pass a tax cut that benefits your wealthy donors over working M…

They're stacking the deck against us

Maine Democratic Party     Hi John, Maine is a battleground state this year. We can’t flip the Senate without electing Sara Gideon to replace Susan Collins. We need to defend Jared Golden in Maine’s 2nd Congressional District. We need to make sure that, like Barack Obama, Joe Biden receives al…

Maine needs us

Maine Democratic Party     Hi John, We need to help our fellow Democrats in Maine. This November, it won’t be enough to defeat Donald Trump; we must also take back the Senate for Democrats and retain our majority in the House so we can continue fighting for a better life for all Americans. It’…

100 Days

Maine Democratic Party     Hi John, Time always seems to fly, but today marks 100 days away from the Election in November. That isn’t much time, and every day between now and November 3rd will be crucial. Every day will be focused on recruiting new volunteers, talking to voters across the stat…

Happy Birthday, Jared!

Maine Democratic Party     Hi John, The sun is out and summertime is here, but we at the Maine Dems can’t let today go by unrecognized... Today is Congressman Jared Golden’s birthday! Click here to sign the card for Jared. Since his election in 2018, Congressman Golden has demonstrated steadfa…

"Women for Trump"???

Maine Democratic Party     Hi John, Trump campaign officials, including Lara Trump are visiting Maine again today, this time for a Women for Trump bus tour. Incredible. This is a man who has bragged about everything from sexual assault to walking into beauty pageant dressing rooms. He has call…

67 Republicans

Maine Democratic Party     Hi John, Republicans in the Maine State Legislature don’t want to come back to work to address the coronavirus pandemic. It’s painfully obvious that they are more interested in lobbing attacks at Democrats than they are in actually doing the jobs Mainers elected them…

A political stunt that will cost lives

Maine Democratic Party     Hi John, The Republicans in the Maine state legislature have decided that cheap political stunts are more important than the lives of Mainers during a pandemic. They are refusing to cooperate in an effort to call a special session of the legislature to enhance Maine’…

Let's elect Democrats

Maine Democratic Party     Hi John, If you had told me when I was running for Governor that, in less than two years, we would be confronting a global pandemic, well, I would not have believed you. But here we are, and as I look back on these past few months, what this pandemic has revealed to …

The general election starts now

Maine Democratic Party     Hi John, The results of the Maine Primary are in! From now until November 3 we need to work to elect Democrats up and down the ticket in Maine. We need to work to make sure: Joe Biden secures all four of Maine’s electoral votes; Sara Gideon defeats Susan Collins and …

Maine Democratic Party     Hi John, Maine’s primary election is today! We have three amazing candidates running for the Democratic nomination to Senate, one of whom will defeat Susan Collins in November. But it’s not just Susan Collins on the ballot. It’s Donald Trump. It’s the future of the S…

Trump thinks he and his friends are above the law

Maine Democratic Party     Hi John, Hey, Susan Collins: has Donald Trump “learned his lesson” yet? Last night, Trump thumbed his nose at the rule of law by commuting the sentence of friend and former campaign advisor Roger Stone. Stone was convicted, by a jury, and sentenced to jail for lying …

Fair weather President

Maine Democratic Party     Hi John, Trump was scheduled to hold a rally in Portsmouth, NH, just miles from the Maine border, tomorrow evening. Trump postponed the rally because of the “big storm” coming in. The forecast is 78 degrees and partly cloudy. What I think really happened is that Trum…

Trump on my doorstep

Maine Democratic Party     Hi John, This weekend, Donald Trump is bringing his traveling circus to my doorstep. Trump will be holding a rally on Saturday in Portsmouth, NH...only a few miles from my home in Kittery. In doing so, he is showing complete disregard for the health and safety of the…

This can't be right

Maine Democratic Party     Hi John, Did you know that the Trump administration is actively working to strike down the ACA...in the middle of a pandemic...at a time of record unemployment? That would kick 23 million Americans off of their health care. Who would go along with this plan? Well, Su…

55% disapproval

Maine Democratic Party     Hi John, A new poll just dropped and, boy, is it bad news for Susan Collins. The poll shows that 55% of Mainers disapprove of the job Collins is doing, with only 36% approving. Whoah. But there is a long way to November, and we need your help if we are going to close…

I don't trust Susan Collins

Maine Democratic Party     Hi John, In the fall of 2018, I joined a group of women who had dropped everything to take an overnight bus to Washington D.C. We were there to urge Susan Collins not to confirm Brett Kavanaugh. She didn’t listen. We told her he was going to endanger our health care,…

Kavanaugh just voted against reproductive rights

Maine Democratic Party     Hi John, Brett Kavanaugh ruled against reproductive rights. Brett Kavanaugh is on the Supreme Court because of Susan Collins. It is time to defeat Susan Collins. Chip in $20.20 today to help the Maine Dems defeat Collins and flip the Senate. When Susan Collins gave h…

She gave us Kavanaugh

Maine Democratic Party     We tried, John. Mainers tried calling Susan Collins, writing to her, even going so far as to drive down to her office and tell her face to face that confirming Brett Kavanaugh would mean putting reproductive rights, LGBTQ+ equality, and our health care at risk. She d…

Why we need to win in Maine

Maine Democratic Party     Hi John, I’ll get straight to the point: This is a time of tremendous crisis for our nation and the world. Donald Trump’s response to the coronavirus outbreak has been cruel, reckless, and incompetent. He tear-gassed peaceful protesters to clear the way for a photo-o…

fake moderate

Maine Democratic Party     Hi John, Susan Collins a fake moderate. She is loyal to Donald Trump and Mitch McConnell when it matters, and “bipartisan” when convenient. Need examples? Collins supported EVERY SINGLE ONE of Trump's right wing judicial nominees in 2017 and 2018, including Brett Kav…

Trump’s rally plan: sign a COVID waiver

Maine Democratic Party     Hi John, Later today Donald Trump will hold his first “rally” in months. Just another piece of evidence that Donald Trump cares about one thing -- himself. He has no problem tear-gassing peaceful protesters so he can get a photo op. He won’t wear a mask because he is…

empty words

lessons learned?
