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.

Chuck Schumer is not built for this moment.
Senator Schumer is no longer effective and should be replaced. If you can’t lead the fight to stop healthcare premiums from skyrocketing for Americans, what will you fight for?

Chuck Schumer is not built for this moment.
Senate Democrats need to hold the line. No healthcare, no deal.
Mainers want a Democratic Party that fights for them, not one that rolls over.
When we fight, we win.

I firmly believe the risk is running an establishment candidate that is not trying something new.

We aren’t just building a campaign to defeat Susan Collins. We are building a working class movement – one that is going to stand up to Donald Trump, Susan Collins, the oligarchs, corporate special interests, and anyone else who stands in our way.

Susan Collins sent me and my friends to die in Iraq twenty years ago.
She learned nothing from it.

It’s not about left versus right, it’s about the top 1% versus the bottom 99%.

Oligarchy: a word I've been told not to use because it's too confusing.
I looked it up, and it's just a description of what the hell is going on.

As SNAP dries up and over 170,000 Mainers go hungry, Maine's rainy day fund sits at $1.03 billion.
I am calling on Gov. Mills to bring the legislature back in session and use the rainy day fund to fund SNAP until the end of the year.
No Mainer should go hungry.

If Susan Collins didn’t understand before, maybe she will now. We are ready to crawl over broken glass to vote her out next November.
