My name is Graham Platner and I’m running for US Senate to defeat Susan Collins and topple the oligarchy that’s destroying our country. I’m a veteran, oysterman, and working class Mainer who’s seen this state become unlivable for working people. And that makes me deeply angry.

I served with the National Guard in Afghanistan. American cities are not “training grounds.” What a disgusting concept.

Trump to top military officials: "I told Pete, we should use some of these dangerous cities as training grounds for our military. National Guard, but our military. Because we're going into Chicago very soon. That's a big city with an incompetent governor. Stupid governor."

Susan Collins hasn’t held a town hall since Bill Clinton was president. I’m holding 21 town halls across the state in the next month.

It’s not complicated: Not one more taxpayer dollar for genocide.

We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin. When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.

Senator Schumer is no longer effective and should be replaced. If you can’t lead the fight to stop healthcare premiums from skyrocketing for Americans, what will you fight for?

Jeffrey Epstein was a pedophile. It is unfathomable Senator Susan Collins voted in lockstep with her Republican colleagues to block the release of the Epstein files. Not one Mainer—regardless of their party—has told me they want the files to remain sealed.

Trump insisted the note did not exist, calling it a “fake thing.” Well, the note does exist. More: rollingstone.com/politics/polit…

We get nothing. No healthcare. No subsidies. This is not a "deal." It's a surrender.

UPDATE: The Senate votes 53-47 to shoot down the Baldwin amendment to extend ACA funds for 1 year. A party-line vote with every Republican rejecting it.

Susan Collins sent me and my friends to die in Iraq twenty years ago. She learned nothing from it.

People are being robbed. The answer to that is not shame or anger. The answer is empathy and compassion.
