FIGHTING TO DEFEAT SUSAN COLLINS - Campaign Manager: @nirav_maine | Formerly: @LevineCava @ruthslistfl @ewarren @FLHouseDems | opinions are my own

Our campaign has officially hit the required number of signatures to qualify as a candidate for the Maine Democratic Nominating Convention! Our team gathered 800+ signatures from Mainers in just a few days, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the support we’ve received across the state. Let’s go!



My first reaction to seeing this woman was “is she even from Maine? She looks like she’s from Florida…” Turns out I was right!

Maine, I'm running for the United States Senate to fight for Medicare for All. To build an economy that works for everyone, not just billionaires and big corporations. And to defend reproductive rights, full stop. Susan Collins has had her chance. Decades of siding with the privileged few while working people get squeezed. Time's up. I've shown up for Mainers before — through the toughest days of a pandemic, when it mattered most. I'm ready to do it again. This fight is for everyday Mainers. Let's go win it.

This is what 200+ FIRED UP Mainers looks like! Honored to have these voters turn out with under 22 hours notice to hear more about our vision for Maine. We’re ready to beat Susan Collins. Let’s do this!



Now seems like a good time to re-up this reel from earlier this year. Dr. Shah led the state through one of our darkest moments and built a level of trust and connection with Mainers that is palpable when they meet him and unparalleled with anyone else in this race.

Here in Maine, for the duration of the pandemic, we saw a fearless and humble leader tell us clearly what was going on, what he and his department were doing, and what we needed to do. He saved lives here.

@AnthonyMEmerson How concerned are you about Senator Duckworth’s statement?


A sense of the scramble and short runway for these new Senate candidates: not enough time to print new campaign signs. A mix of edited Shah for Gov and repurposed Platner for Senate signs here at the Shah kickoff in Freeport

Packed house of volunteers and press for @nirav_maine announcing candidacy for US Senate. This is what ppl can expect from Shah for Senate from now until November: a high energy, high octane, relentless campaign that will call Susan Collins for her failures every single day.

Campaign energy check ⚡️For months, Democrats told Maine voters that Graham Platner was their future. Now, they're scrambling to find a replacement & keep the energy high. How are they doing? You tell us. First in a series, starting with @nirav_maine. 🐶🍿

That’s because we campaigned harder than anyone else: 30+ town halls in all 16 counties across the state talking directly to thousands of Mainers in rural, suburban, & working class communities. And we will do it again. Team Shah will not rest until Susan Collins is defeated.
