Women across Maine begged Susan Collins not to put Brett Kavanaugh on the Supreme Court because they knew Roe was at stake. She did it anyway. To this day, she says "I do not regret that vote." Well, we sure do.

Another week, another Susan Collins pay-for-play scandal. Susan Collins owes Maine taxpayers an apology. But more than that, we deserve a change November 3rd.

30 years ago, today, Susan Collins pledged she would only serve two terms in the U.S. Senate. Here we are, five terms later, with her still in office. Susan broke her promise. How can we trust her to fight for us?

Just weeks from election day, Mainers still have questions and you still haven't given answers @SenSusanCollins

Susan Collins is taking a victory lap over what Trump’s own energy secretary calls a “temporary measure” to address the crisis she helped create. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Susan Collins is like an arsonist who sets the house on fire and then wants credit for bringing you a cup of water. Unlike Senator Collins, I owe Donald Trump nothing. I owe the people of Maine everything. And in the Senate, that’s who I’ll fight for.

I don't have any stocks and I don't expect I'm ever going to, regardless of where I'm going next year. But I know we need a stock trading ban for members of congress, because elected officials can't be allowed to game the system.

Senator Collins, Mainers aren’t stupid. Your household owns oil stocks that went up during the war in Iran. You denied it. The facts say otherwise. And Mainers are paying the price for a war you voted five times to keep going.

Unlike Susan Collins, I owe Donald Trump and the billionaires nothing. I owe the people of Maine everything, and I'm ready to fight for Mainers in Washington.

We should be able to have a Medicare for All system, we should be able to afford prescription drugs, we should be able to afford childcare. We’re often met with the question of how we can afford that vision as a country. I’ll tell you how: stop giving tax cuts to the wealthiest people in the country and start making them pay their fair share.

I’m proud to have the endorsement of Chief Clarissa Sabattis and the Houlton Band of Maliseets Tribal Council. Representing a rural community, I understand that when the Wabanaki Nations have a vibrant economy, health care, infrastructure and educational opportunities, all of rural Maine benefits. I recognize the sovereignty of the Wabanaki Nations as Maine Senate President, and fought for tribes in Maine to be treated the same as other federally recognized tribes across the nation. When I reach the U.S. Senate, I will continue to fight to ensure that the Wabanaki People and people of Maine have the opportunity to thrive.

Birds of a feather flock together. Joe Manchin and Susan Collins are fake “moderates” who hide behind that label to sell out working people to big corporations and special interests. Regardless of party, they fight for the same people: the wealthy and the powerful. I welcome Senator Manchin to Maine. He serves as a perfect example of the kind of broken status quo politics this movement is fighting like hell to put an end to. semafor.com/article/10/19/20…

“I’m going to the border. How many of you are willing to come?” Those were the words of my good friend and fellow logger Hilton Hafford rallying dozens of us in Fort Kent to stand up for our livelihoods. Twenty-eight years ago today, we decided to block the border with Canada. I’ve thought about that decision every day since. The loggers coming across from Canada were good people trying to make a living, just like us. But Canadian health care subsidies and exchange rates put Maine loggers at a disadvantage. And the landowners were happy to use that to drive down our wages. Instead of listening, government officials at both the state and federal levels wrote us off. We were working ourselves to the bone. We were fighting for our jobs, our families, our communities — and the chance to earn an honest living without being driven into the ground. Twenty-eight years later, the fire in my belly hasn’t faded one bit. Working people shouldn’t have to block a border to get their government to listen. But I learned that day that if we wanted anything to change, we had to stand up and fight for it. I haven’t stopped since.

Somewhere along the line, I understood that maybe my greatest asset was being willing to speak out for those who couldn't. Feckless attacks from the billionaire class aren't going to scare me out of fighting tooth and nail for working Mainers.

Last night’s town hall with @TroyJackson207 and @ewarren was an incredible reminder of the power of grassroots momentum. We’re grateful to be in this fight with change makers like these.

The president does not own this country. Billionaires do not own this country. A senate seat doesn’t belong to a person who has held it for 30 years. It still belongs to the people of Maine.

It was an honor to spend the day with @ewarren Together, we can send this working class movement to Washington on November 3. Get out there and vote.

I had a great time with my friend, @TroyJackson207, in Maine today. Troy is a logger, a union man, and he’s ready to get dark money out of politics. Let’s flip this seat blue already!
