“The movement to replace her is bigger than any candidate. It belongs to the people who built it: the volunteers who knock on doors, get Democrats to the polls, and win over independent voters. Collins is a handmaiden to her corporate donors. I can’t be bought, which is why I can take on the powerful interests driving up energy, housing, and grocery costs. I will fight for a federal minimum tax on wealth so taxpayers in the top brackets, like me, pay at least the same rate as their workers.

My wealth is not a credential; it is a responsibility. It gives me the independence to reject corporate PAC money and the resources to take this campaign to every corner of Maine. I refuse to wait for Washington’s donor class to decide whether we can compete.

Maine is at a crossroads. Working people must be able to afford a life here again. I will protect Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security, secure federal support for affordable housing, and give families, not hedge funds, a fair shot at buying homes. Strong unions built the middle class, and I will fight for every worker’s right to organize.

Susan Collins answers to the Epstein Class in Washington. I will answer only to the people of Maine. Whoever our nominee is, I will be in the streets knocking on doors beside you. Together we fight, we win, and in November we take this seat back.”
