CALAIS: I'm coming to you. We'll be at Calais Community Center from 6:00pm-7:00pm on Monday, October 6th. I hope you'll come and check out this movement we're building to defeat Susan Collins and her multi-billionaire backers. Come out, ask questions, and bring a friend or three. I'll see you there.
I was born and raised in Sullivan. I served four infantry tours in the Marine Corps and Army. After a decade overseas in Iraq and Afghanistan, I came home to Maine. I moved in three doors down from where I grew up, and now I run a thriving oyster farm with my wife Amy.
Sadly, for far too many, it has become impossible to live in the place they grew up. People my age and younger simply can't afford to live here anymore. Hard work is no longer enough to survive in Maine. Meanwhile, a tiny number of billionaires have amassed an incomprehensible amount of wealth and power. We have a government of billionaires, by billionaires, for billionaires.
I never expected somebody like me could run for the U.S. Senate, but we aren’t going to defeat Susan Collins with a cookie-cutter politician.
We have seen Democrats run against Senator Collins and lose, again and again and again. We have to start listening to our neighbors, who are simply not interested in the same old same old politicians. It’s time for something different. Please RSVP, and I look forward to meeting you.
