We're losing our health care here in Maine so Susan Collins can give billionaires like Elon Musk more tax cuts. I support Medicare for All so people across the state have health care.

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.

Tonight is my first of four debates with Senator Susan Collins. Eight years ago today, she voted to confirm Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court. He went on to help overturn Roe v. Wade—and she still says she doesn’t regret her vote. I’m fired up and ready to hold her accountable.

Let this sink in. Cornell University refused to refund Jane Doe's tuition the semester she was raped. Without this money, she could not transfer to another school. Essentially, she was forced to stay on campus where she saw those seven rapists frequently. Eventually she dropped out of college.
