Batting 481 out of 500 is a remarkable feat on any level. Organizing, executing a solid campaign is vital to defeating Collins. Big plus is this was done by Troy Jackson and Mainers. I know, he personally called me. We don’t need DC consultants running our show w/TV airs wars. #MESen #mepolitics

With Gov. Mills suspending her campaign, it’s time for Democrats to rally around our presumptive Senate nominee in Maine. Graham Platner isn’t perfect, but he is better than Susan Collins — and I’ll work to ensure he beats her this November.
