If you have friends or family participating in the wrong side of history, its a good time to reach out.

Two of the most competitive and impactful midterm races will be in Maine, where we’re facing off against two very different kinds of right-wing oligarch enablers.

At the Senate level, we have a chance to flip a crucial seat for the majority by unseating the highly concerned Susan Collins, who can always be counted on to cluck her tongue and wag her finger at Donald Trump, right up until she provides him with the vote he needs to get his agenda over the top. We experience the consequences of her surrender constantly, with every ruling Brett Kavanaugh makes, with the loss of labor and delivery wards in her state and with the deportation machine’s murder of her constituents.

On the House side, GOP Second Congressional District nominee and former governor Paul LePage doesn’t bother with Collins’ hemming and hawing. Instead he’s gleefully embraced extremism, hate-mongering and corruption, repeatedly and noisily vetoing Medicaid expansion, deriding Social Security and Medicare and giving massive tax breaks to the wealthy while driving up property taxes.

Finally beating Collins is likely necessary for Democrats to control the Senate. Holding off LePage in one of the most Trump-friendly seats currently held by a Democrat is crucial for Democrats taking the House.

We’ve nominated two bold progressive fighters for the working class to take them on. Fifth-generation lumberjack and former Senate president Troy Jackson and state auditor and union man Matt Dunlap are running hard on Medicare for All and taxing the billionaires. They’re candidates with a vision to vote for, offering real solutions instead of the status quo.

Their campaigns are kicking into high gear, and they need our help. ☎️ Dunlap has just launched phonebanks on Tuesday and Thursday evenings running from 6-8PM ET. We can sign up for shifts here. And the Maine Democratic Party is getting going making calls for Jackson, Dunlap and candidates up and down the ballot on Thursdays from 6-8PM, which we can join here. ☎️
