Mainers Want Fresh New Faces to Represent them in Washington, DC Such as Oyster Farmer and US Marine Vet Graham Platner, 41. He’s Endorsed by Sen. Bernie Sanders (I) of Vermont.

Signs Supporting Graham Platner, 41, for US Senate are Popping up All Over Portland like Spring Flowers. No Such Sign of Support Has Been Seen for Senator Collins (R) 73, or Governor Janet T. Mills, 78, in the Area.
Do you want to see Graham Platner on the ballot in November 2026 to defeat the incumbent Senator Susan Collins (R)? If so, part of the process required by Maine law is that thousands of signatures are required to make that happen.
You can sign a petition to accomplish this anytime today Thursday, January 1, 2026 between 1:00 pm and 7:00 pm today and TOMORROW as well in Portland. The location is at 1100 Brighton Avenue. Your signature is needed by his campaign to keep the momentum going – can you make it to that location either today or tormorrow?
Volunteers are already out across the state, knocking on doors in the snow and collecting signatures. Every signature counts and Graham and his team hope to get yours soon!
Speaking of momentum, in early November this blogger was informed by Graham’s campaign that over 10,000 people had signed on to volunteer for his campaign. And over 150,000, including this blogger, have chipped in to his campaign. No similar reports have been issued by Senator Susan Collins (R) or by Governor Janet T. Mills (D), who just turned 78 two days ago.
“Why would my wife, Amy, and I give up our simple life, and put everything on the line? My answer is always the same. Because working-class Mainers deserve better. They deserve a politics and a government that reflects them and fights for them. And I will always be wiling to put myself on the line for that,” said Graham in the same document to this blogger.
“As Maine Goes, So Goes the Nation,” said Graham at the conclusion of his Portland Rally at the State Theater, on November 2, 2025. Please visit that November 2, 2025 post herein for more information on the campaign of Graham Platner for US Senate from Maine.
“It will be a happier new year for Mainers if Graham wins the US Senate seat this November,” predicts this blogger.
