To the loggers, farmers, teachers, truck drivers, nurses, postal workers, shipbuilders, childcare providers, and everyone else who makes this state run while getting run down in the process: let’s take back what’s ours. I ask for your vote in the Democratic primary on June 9th.

Graham Platner and local organizers are building a working class movement that spans every corner of this state, from Fort Kent all the way down to Kittery. In November, that movement is going to win.

We hear all the time about the value of bipartisanship for its own sake. I don't buy it. I'll work with Republicans on plenty of important issues affecting Mainers, but if "bipartisanship" means giving tax cuts to the rich or stripping away reproductive rights, count me out.

Big corporate landowners are spraying glyphosate, a key ingredient in Roundup, all over Maine woodlands. They tell us it's safe. Well, Big Chemical told us DDT and PFAS were safe, too.  

As Senate President, I passed a bill to ban the aerial spraying of this poison. But big landowners wanted it vetoed, so the Governor vetoed it.

We need action now. Join me in calling on Governor Mills and our state government to conduct comprehensive, statewide water testing for glyphosate and all forever chemicals. I'll share a link in the comments.

I was proud to endorse Graham back in February. I recognized in him the same thing Bernie did: he's a progressive fighter with the guts to take power back from the oligarchs who've dominated our political system – including the Democratic Party – for too long.

Congrats, brother. Maine is rising, and the working class is going to win.
