MAINE VOTING RIGHTS ARE AT RISK!

40% of Mainers and over 60% of Maine seniors depend on absentee ballots.

Maine votes are important every election.

In November, Mainers will face Question 1
Question 1 is a critical referendum that will dismantle our popular absentee voting program — a cornerstone of accessible elections in our state.

Join fellow Maine Democrats as we work to canvass our friends and neighbors and fight back against this voter suppression referendum.

Pretty convinced indies and rethugs won't vote for her anyway. And very glad she has to go thru primaries. Bring in new blood, the old guard dems aren't cutting it

The United States is now a fascist police state. If you support this then you are the enemy of freedom and democracy. I will never stop resisting you or Trump.

Even if elected, Mills would be a 1 term senator, which isn't long enough to gain true power in the senate. She'd start a 6 year term at almost 80

Do you consider yourself conservative or libertarian? Trump’s attacks on renewables:

* Attack free markets
* Stifle innovation
* Take lives
* Eliminate jobs
* Raise energy costs
* Harm national security

This regime is not on your side either.

Trump’s hatred for renewables means the US is falling behind the rest of the world

As well as embracing ‘beautiful coal’, the president has set about obliterating clean energy projects

If you’re in El Paso, home to Ft. Bliss and Biggs Field, and need food assistance, the Mustard Seed Cafe (where I volunteered) provides hot fresh food Wed-Friday. No questions asked. It’s main purpose was providing meals in a restaurant and dignified setting for unhoused, but is now for all… free.

It’s heartbreaking that the richest country in the world needs food banks to feed its people but it’s unbelievable that our billionaire politicians have forced our military to feed themselves and their families from food banks.

My point is that I have no say in how Vermont chooses their senator. So no, I don't think it's a ridiculous point. As a Maine voter, I will not vote for Someone who will be almost 80 when they START their first term as Mills will be.

Look we're trying to keep an open mind re: who'd be the best ME-SEN candidate. And we think a primary's a great way to sort it out.

But let's be honest: Mills keeps doing worrisome stuff.

Calling *senators* for support? A top-down approach ain't working in 2025. How's that not obvious? #MEpolitics

There is a coordinated republican message today that they will respond to peaceful protests next weekend with violence.

We will not be silenced by their threats.
