FWD: I’m officially the Democratic nominee in Maine’s U.S. Senate race

Folks – did you see the big news?

Troy Jackson has won the Democratic nomination for Senate in Maine – and as a lifelong fighter for working Mainers who's won by 20 points in a district both Trump and Susan Collins carried, he has a real shot at flipping one of the four battleground seats we need to retake the majority.

But against a 30-year incumbent with major institutional support and a massive war chest to boot, he'll need all hands on deck to overcome the GOP's dark-money machine and flip this seat come November.

So after Troy reached out to me for help, the least I could do was pass along the message and ask if you'd split a $5 donation (or any amount) between our campaigns today. But now, I'll let him take it away. ⤵︎

Thanks for everything,

Patty

Folks, my name is Troy Jackson, and I’m a fifth-generation logger from Allagash. And with your help, we’re going to send Susan Collins packing and flip this critical Senate seat for Democrats.

Can you chip in $5 split between my campaign and Patty Murray to help power my campaign through November and flip this seat?

CHIP IN $5 →

Folks, let me explain the situation we’re facing:

1. I’m starting this campaign from the ground floor with less than 100 days to go until Election Day.

2. Susan Collins and her allies have dedicated $10 million to prop her up, and pundits are saying Donald Trump’s MAGA dark money donors could spend up to $200 million to defeat me.

3. Susan Collins has voted with Donald Trump 96% of the time… she’s refused to stand up for working Mainers at every turn.

4. Experts predict the Senate could come down to the closest of margins, with Maine being the must-win seat to take back our majority.

5. My team asked me to reach out to Democrats like you to prove to Susan Collins and the GOP machine that this people-powered movement has what it takes to fight back and win this seat.

So, I’m humbly asking you again. Can you chip in just $5 today split between my campaign and Patty Murray , to defeat Susan Collins and flip this seat to take back our Senate Majority? >>
