One of Numerous Signs at the NO KINGS Rally in June Calling Out Collins, a Full Blown MAGA Member.

Today, US Senate candidate Graham Platner released the following statement after Governor Janet T. Mills announced she is suspending her campign for US Senate.

“Janet Mills has dedicated her career to this beautiful state.  We are all eternally grateful for her service to Maine as Governor, Attorney General, district attorney and in the legislature.  We both got into this race because we knew how critical it is to defeat Susan Collins.  And her decision today reflects a commitment to that project.  I look foward to working with her between now and November to do just that.  To defeat Susan Collins and turn this seat blue again.

“The race has never been about me or really about one person.  It’s almost a movement of working Mainers who are fed up with being robbed by billionaires and the politicians who own them.  We are now taking back our power.  That is what this campagin is.”

Graham’s statement continued:  “We will defeat Susan Collins.  We will go to Washington and we will start  tearing down the system that for too long  has forgotten and written off the people who make Maine and this country what it is.  People have said that this campaign came out of nowwhere.  But those people don’t know Maine.  This movement came out of a lot of somewheres.  From working waterfronts that have worked for far too long only to be pushed to the brink.  From towns where the closest hospital is hours away.  For workers who pay more in taxes than billionaires.  For loggers who are just one mill closure away from bankruptcy.  And for young peope who want a home to call their own.  And for seniors ready to demand the dignity they deserve.  For decades this has taken, piece by piece, store by store, hospital by hospital, shore by shore, town by town.  They have taken from us.  And they took so much that they began to think that we didn’t exist at all.  But they don’t know Maine.  They don’t know the power that we have here.”

His statement concludes:  “And we are taking back what is ours.”

Graham lives in Sullivan with his wife, Amy, just three doors down from the house where he grew up.

“This race has become so significant, that an extended discussion of the news that Gov. Janet Mills ended her Senate campaign has been the focus of attention on CNN cable news this afternoon,” said this blogger.  “It was stated that Chuck Schumer, who supported the Mills’ senate campaign, ‘misread’ Maine.  One panelist  said that the super-funded Collins’ campaign is gearing up to unload tv attack ads on Graham’s campaign designed to give him a sound beating in November.”  She won’t succeed!
