This is about saving lives

The issue of gun violence and common sense solutions shouldn’t be viewed as partisan.   John, It’s been just over a month since we lost 18 parents, children, cousins, friends, and neighbors in Lewiston, Maine, to a senseless act of violence. Our communities are grieving, and we’ve l…

Grateful

  John — Before you log off for the holiday, I want to wish you a safe and happy Thanksgiving from Mary and me. I’ve often said that Maine is like a big small town because, at our heart, we’re all connected by long roads. And as we continue to grieve and heal as a community from th…

A little goes a long way

We mean it when we say this campaign is powered by grassroots support   John — when it comes to campaigns and making sure Maine people hear more about Angus’ work, every donation can make a difference. $5 or $10 here and there can truly help us tell more in Maine how Angus is worki…

Re: robocalls

  John, How many times a week do you get a phone call from “Unknown” or “Spam Risk”? Did you know that Americans receive more than 1.25 billion robocalls every month? Robocalls aren’t just an annoying, everyday nuisance — they pose a serious threat to consumers, especially our ol…

Planning future investments

  John — as we head into the last months of 2023, our team is busy finalizing our plans for the rest of this year and 2024. That means we’re calculating the investments we need to make in the weeks and months ahead to defend Angus’ seat and keep him in the Senate fighting on behal…

Supporting our teachers

  John, From the moment they enter the classroom, Maine’s teachers lay the foundation for our children’s success and provide an invaluable, often underappreciated service to our communities. Our public school teachers do everything they can to empower our children to be the succe…

I thought you might enjoy this

  Dear John, No fundraising today, but I thought you might enjoy this peek into my (Instagram) life. Yes, I write the captions myself (sometimes to the consternation of my staff) and take most of the pictures (Mary takes the rest!). Instagram has become more than just a photo-sh…

Before tonight’s deadline

  Hi John – I know your time is valuable, so I’ll get right to the point. I’m writing today to ask you to make a contribution to my re-election campaign before the clock runs out on our end-of-quarter fundraising drive tonight. Any amount – and I mean any – you give will go a lon…

My super-senator husband

  Hey John, Mary H again — Again I am putting aside my queasy discomfort around political fundraising and reaching out (yup again) on behalf of my super hard-working husband. As you may already know from the many political texts and emails you receive, Angus and his team have a ma…

I really, truly hate writing to ask for money

  John, If you’ve been following the news, you know how busy things are in Washington right now. I’m doing all I can to bring folks across the aisle together to avoid a shutdown next week. There is something I’ve been less on top of, though — our campaign fundraising. The fact is…

Kittery to Fort Kent and everywhere in between

  Thanks for opening this email, John. We know you’re probably getting a bunch of messages like this in your inbox this week, so we’ll keep this short. Friday is our campaign’s next public fundraising deadline — and we’ve set a goal to bring in 500 contributions this week to show …

It’s time to end disruptive government shutdowns

  John, I know you’ve probably been hearing a lot of talk about a potential government shutdown after the end of the month. So let’s talk about it. Once again, some partisan House lawmakers are threatening to interrupt the basic function of our government by forcing a shutdown in…

Our fundraising totals will soon be public

  Hey John — it’s Angus’ Campaign Manager, Gaetan, here! In a moment, I’m going to ask you to make a contribution to our campaign. But first, I want to explain why it’s so important to make that contribution today: The thing is, we have a huge FEC deadline coming up at the end of…

I’m committed to lowering the costs of prescription drugs

  John, I’m deeply committed to making quality health care more affordable for all Maine people — and one step to getting there is lowering the cost of prescription drugs. Whether it’s a retiree on a fixed income or a working family trying to make ends meet, these prices pose a s…
