John—
The most recent poll in the Maine Senate race just came out, and Sara Gideon and Sen. Susan Collins are in a dead heat: 43 – 42%.1
The same poll says Collins’ approval rating in Maine has fallen all the way down to 42% — almost as low as Trump’s.
Collins has been hemorrhaging support since she voted to confirm Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court. Victory is in sight.
Since 2016, Collins has become a Trump ultra-loyalist — voting in step with his agenda nearly 70% of the time.2 And because her seat is essential to helping Republicans hold on to their anti-choice majority in the Senate, conservative PACs are spending millions of dollars to re-elect her.3,4
Susan Collins may have big donors, but we’ve got the people. Donate now to build our organizing power in the field to knock on doors, make calls, and get out the vote to replace Susan Collins with reproductive freedom champion Sara Gideon.
We know we can’t trust Susan Collins to stand up for women if she's re-elected. She’s sure to continue supporting the anti-woman agenda of Donald Trump and Mitch McConnell.
But this poll proves that Mainers are ready for change, and a senator who puts women and families first.
That senator will be Sara Gideon — if we can dig deep and meet the deep pockets of anti-choice Republican donors desperate to keep her pro-Trump votes in the Senate.
Donate $15 to bring it home and put the Senate back in pro-choice hands by electing Sara Gideon.
Thank you for all you do for reproductive freedom,
 Ilyse Hogue President, NARAL Pro-Choice America
With the support of people like you, we can make sure that freedom is for every body.
