There are 7,000 union Machinists in Maine. You'll find them at the Bath Iron Works, in our paper mills, our lobstering industry. Middle-class jobs that can support a family: that's what you get when you have a union. I am honored beyond words to receive this endorsement.

“In the battle for the soul of the Democratic Party, Senate candidate Graham Platner might be the perfect soldier: The virile, earthy working man many male politicians wish they were, with the committed lefty beliefs many voters are now demanding.”

Three months ago I thought harbormaster of Sullivan, Maine would be the extent of my political career. Happy National Harbormaster Day to those who observe.

Susan Collins's stance is indefensible. A quarter million dollars in dark money behind her is indefensible. Reopen the government, reverse the healthcare cuts, ban billionaires buying elections.

VA healthcare saved my life. It allowed me to build my business. In the richest country on Earth, we can guarantee decent healthcare for all.

"On Saturday, Platner brought his pitch to Collins’ hometown. Hosting a town hall at the American Legion Post 15 — situated one block from the senator’s Caribou office — Platner said, 'Maine deserves better than Susan Collins.'"

Senator Sanders is right. We need more working-class candidates.

One day. Five hundred miles. Three town halls in small town Maine. Four hundred people. We will leave no person and no place behind.

People are being robbed. The answer to that is not shame or anger. The answer is empathy and compassion.

My wife and I are trying to have kids. We're looking at the cost of childcare. Frankly, it's a nightmare. Young people struggling with the financial realities of starting a family in this country deserve a voice in the Senate. I promise you, I will fight for universal childcare.

This campaign is about fighting for every Mainer, including my old pal Frank.

We're not just packing our town halls. We're packing our volunteer meetings. Without a huge staff, without even a candidate, our people are organizing from Bath to Camden to Rumford and everywhere in between. This is how we defeat Susan Collins. This is how we win.

I have neither the time nor the patience for Republican attacks on veterans.

We must pass a billionaire minimum tax that establishes a baseline tax rate that the super-rich cannot go under. It's time to tax the rich.

We held our third town hall last night in Rockport, Maine – Population: 3,644. When we booked the venue six weeks ago, we were looking for somewhere with space for 35 to 50 people. Imagine our surprise when over 900 people showed up to hear how we're going to defeat Susan Collins.

Over the years Susan Collins has made it crystal clear that she does not care how many people lose access to healthcare, and this week she shut down the government instead of voting to let Mainers get the care they need. It’s despicable.

Our healthcare system in Maine is collapsing.

Six weeks. Average contribution: $31. And not a single corporate PAC.

"Plenty of candidates can talk about the problems. What makes Graham’s campaign and message unique to me is that he puts we the people at the center of making an economy and democracy that work for working people."

I served with the National Guard in Afghanistan. American cities are not “training grounds.” What a disgusting concept.

Democrats must push to restore all Medicaid and Medicare cuts.

Despite everything, I remain hopeful. I still believe we can build a better system—one that topples the elites who strangle our government. A politics of the working class, by the working class, for the working class. A new future is still possible.

Almost nobody my age or younger has a real shot at owning a home. We need to ban hedge funds and private equity from buying homes, restore federal support for building housing, and expand VA-style home loans so working people can actually afford to own where they live.

Happy to report The Hearts won: 1-0. Stand fast, we are the boys of Maine. ❤️🌲

We are fighting for the freedom to have time to build, to create, to love, and to live lives not of just survival, but of fulfillment and joy.

I made a couple of new friends this week—Teddy and Rowyn. This campaign isn’t just about the moment we’re in; it’s about building a better future for them.

Last night: Over a thousand Mainers got drenched in Portland. We’re building a movement, and nobody — not Susan Collins, not Chuck Schumer — is going to stop us.

Hell yes, we can.

When someone shows you who they are, believe them. Chuck Schumer has showed us time and time again that he is wholly incapable of understanding and meeting the dangerous moment we are in. It’s time for new (and better) Democratic leadership.

Medicare for All is the answer.

While Susan Collins refuses to hold town halls and hear from the people of Maine, I am embarking on a statewide town hall tour. 850 showed up for the first one in small town Maine.

Not that anyone is keeping track.

850 people in small-town Maine 13 months before the election. Mainers have never been more ready for change.

Shana Tova! Wishing everyone celebrating Rosh Hashanah a happy and sweet new year!

Susan Collins is a self-interested politician, a master of taking good votes when it's pointless and caving when it counts.

This campaign is about organizing the working class and fighting for what we deserve.

The party of “law and order.”

Healthcare is a human right—no exceptions. Every other developed nation provides some form of universal healthcare. It's unacceptable that the U.S. does not.

Susan Collins hasn’t held a town hall since Bill Clinton was president. I’m holding 21 town halls across the state in the next month.

We’re building a movement to fight for the working class — and to take our power back.

This is one month. Imagine what we'll build in a year.

Shots from our *volunteer meetup* in Portland — fourteen months before election day. (And I wasn't even there!) Susan Collins has the money. She has the super PACs. But she'll never have this.

Thank you to the Maine State Nurses Association for their powerful endorsement. Together we will reverse these devastating rural hospital closures, and we will fight for (and one day win) Medicare for All.

If RFK Jr. isn’t careful, Susan Collins is going to vote to put him on the Supreme Court.

🚨 FIRST UNION ENDORSEMENT 🚨 in the race: Thank you to the International Federation of Professional and Technical Engineers and the 1000s of IFPTE workers at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard for their support. Build American. Build Union.

I am not going to compromise my values. I am not going to speak in platitudes or shy away from the truth. And I certainly am not going to throw immigrants or trans kids under the bus because some consultant told me it polls really well with Republicans.

We need to make the Democratic Party the party with the answers.

Three more health centers closing. Brought to you by Susan Collins.

In six days: it begins.
