Last weekend on the anniversary of Susan Collins’ decision to support Brett Kavanaugh, the Maine Democratic Party launched a new campaign designed to activate grassroots supporters in the fight to #DefeatCollins.
The campaign kicked off with the launch of #DefeatCollins on social media and DefeatCollins.com, which highlights Susan Collins’ record of letting voters down and siding with the Trump Administration on a wide range of issues, including Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation to the Supreme Court. The Maine Democratic Party also began running digital advertisements to connect grassroots supporters looking to get involved in the fight to #DefeatCollins.
