ME-Sen: Human Rights Campaign Ditches Susan Collins (R), Endorses Sara Gideon (D) For Senate
Here’s some big news today out of Maine:
The Human Rights Campaign, the country’s largest LGBTQ rights advocacy organization, is opposing Sen. Susan Collins’s reelection bid in Maine and endorsing her Democratic opponent, Sara Gideon. It’s the first time that the HRC has opposed Collins, a key Republican vote on LGBTQ rights, for reelection.
The endorsement comes a day after Gideon, speaker of the state House, won Maine’s Democratic Senate primary.“We are fighting for our lives and the only way to advance LGBTQ equality through the United States Senate is to install a new pro-equality majority leader and replace Mitch McConnell,” HRC President Alphonso David said in a statement. “Despite Susan Collins’ record of support on certain key LGBTQ issues, her support of Mitch McConnell and Donald Trump’s agenda, endorsement of Brett M. Kavanaugh’s appointment to the Supreme Court and failure to hold Donald Trump accountable, is simply untenable.”
Let’s get rid of Collins and make sure Maine goes Blue big time. Click below to donate and get involved with Gideon, Biden and their fellow Maine Democrats campaigns:
