Received this e-mail from U.S. Senator Chris Murphy (D. CT) in support of Maine House Speaker Sara Gideon’s (D. ME) U.S. Senate campaign:
Sara Gideon (D. ME)
There is likely no way to take back the Senate in 2020 if we do not flip Maine’s Senate seat.
But here’s the good news: this week,SaraGideonannounced her campaign to defeat Susan Collins.
She’s an incredible candidate. She’s been serving as Maine’s Speaker of the House since 2016, but she realized she had to consider running for Senate when Susan Collins abandoned Mainers’ values and voted for Brett Kavanaugh.
Now it’s our job to help her get started. She’s already facing her first FEC deadline on Sunday, and I want to help her have a strong launch.
