Hi John,

Susan Collins has spent years enabling Donald Trump and hurting the people of Maine.

In October, she joined Trump at the White House to "celebrate" not extending critical health care tax credits and allowing the government to shut down. While Mainers were reeling from the damage of the government shutdown, Susan Collins was smiling alongside Trump.

If Democrats don't get this right — if we don't choose the strongest possible candidate to take her on — Collins will skate by yet again.

We can't afford that. So, John, will you chip in to help us flip Maine’s Senate seat?

EMILYs List is all in for Janet Mills because she is the only candidate in this race who can defeat Susan Collins. No one else has Janet’s record of delivering for Maine. No one else has her grit. No other Democrat has won statewide in Maine in the past decade. And no one else has stood up to Trump — and won! — when he tried to undermine Maine.

Janet has spent her entire career proving people wrong and winning fights no one thought she could. She shattered expectations as the first woman district attorney in all of New England. She did it again as Maine's first and only woman attorney general. And as Maine's first woman governor, she won with more votes than any governor in state history.

Beating Susan Collins takes a fighter with a real record of winning tough, high-stakes races.

Janet Mills isn't afraid of Trump, and she isn't afraid of Collins. She's won before, and she’ll do it again, but only if she has the grassroots power behind her to take on the Republican machine that will support Collins.

If we are serious about defeating Susan Collins, then we have to act now. Donate today to support EMILYs List-backed candidates, like Janet Mills, running in the toughest races in 2026:
