Graham Platner for Senate

My name is Graham Platner and I’m running for US Senate to defeat Susan Collins and topple the oligarchy that’s destroying our country. I’m a veteran, oysterman, and working class Mainer who’s seen this state become unlivable for working people. And that makes me deeply angry.

Pete Hegseth went in front of an Appropriations subcommittee today. Susan Collins is Appropriations Chair. She did not ask him even ONE question about Iran. Spineless. Susan Collins is a spineless Senator who refuses to stand up for working Mainers being crushed by costs.

Take on the health insurance CEOs, take on Big Oil, they call you "radical." Support illegal and insane foreign wars, and hand billions of dollars to billionaires and huge corporations? They call you "Susan Collins."

The fruits of the war in Iran: thousands dead or wounded, gas headed towards $5/gallon, and, we learned today, 4% inflation. Susan Collins voted for this.

We have an activist, illegitimate, far-right Supreme Court, and there's a compelling case for the impeachment and removal of at least two justices.

Having gutted the Voting Rights Act, our corrupt, far-right Supreme Court is busy remaking Congress in their image. Your weekly reminder: there's a compelling case for the impeachment and removal of at least two justices.

Early voting starts today. Bring your loved ones.

Despite the determined efforts of the Republican Party to end early voting in this country, we still have it. And starting today, we can use it.

We still have a primary! Whether you’re a Democrat or an independent, you can vote starting today. We’re trying to set a record for early voting in Maine. Wherever you are, you can vote early at your town clerk’s office during their business hours. I humbly ask for your vote.

How about we start by suspending the biggest gas tax of them all: Trump’s illegal war in Iran.

Susan Collins is running ads featuring Lindsay Graham calling her a "great friend of Israel." I've held over 60 town halls (Senator Collins has held zero) and not a single Mainer has asked me who Lindsey Graham is supporting, or who he thinks is a better friend of Israel.

Happy Mother's Day to the woman who started it all. I love you, Mom.

At a moment when the cost of heating oil was already devastating Mainers, we launched a costly war in Iran that made the problem much, much worse.

$70 billion for ICE. $50 billion for Iran. That’s our money they’re lighting on fire.

I’m old enough to remember when Republicans in Ohio just ignored court rulings repeatedly and did it anyway.

I bet she sure is concerned about it, though.

The billionaires and the oligarchs have taken our country from us. And we're going to take it back.

He's been telling us for weeks that the war is over. A war founded upon lies, continuing upon lies.

NEW: We spent 4 days traveling the entire state of Maine with Graham Platner to find out if he can win. Along the way we sat him down with Republicans and Independents. One voter told us: "We're so tired of the establishment, and Maine is a very anti-establishment state."

The war in Iran has been a disaster. But not for everyone.

Susan Collins’ charade is over. Betraying the voters who’ve delivered mandate for change after mandate for change is disqualifying from the role of United States Senator. Our new ad ⬇️
