Last time Susan Collins had to face Maine’s voters, (2020) she barely cracked 50%. Unfortunately, the DC Democratic establishment had chosen a garden variety Democrat who was… better than Collins, but not better enough to excite many voters— or win. She only managed to take 42.4% of the vote— on the same day that Biden was winning the state with 53.1%.
Maine voters are Bernie voters, something Chuck Schumer, who prefers dull centrist candidates, hasn’t been able to grasp. This cycle Blue America is excited to endorse an extraordinary progressive champion, Jordan Wood, former Katie Porter chief of staff, who was born and raised in Lewiston and now lives in rural Bristol.
I urge you to read his guest post below and the piece Protect Democracy wrote about him last week. If you’d like to see him replace Collins, please consider contributing to his grassroots campaign here.
