John,

I am about to ask if you can make a donation to help me defeat Susan Collins before our final FEC fundraising deadline of the year. But before I do, please let me explain why this federally-mandated FEC deadline is so important.

After December 31st, federal law requires our campaign against Susan Collins to pull together a report of how much we’ve raised and from how many donors. That report then becomes public – for everyone to see.

Reporters are going to dig into the report. Pundits will pore over every detail. But it’s not just them.

Susan Collins, her Super PACs, and special interests like AIPAC, Big Pharma, and Big Oil will all be looking for any sign of weakness in our campaign.

This is also the last chance for grassroots donors like you to show that you are still 100% behind me to defeat Susan Collins and flip Maine blue.

Our campaign has never been under a microscope more than we’re about to be now, so it’s critical we put forward a show of strength bigger than we’ve ever had.

That’s why we’ve set our biggest goal ever: Raising another $500,000 before this final FEC deadline to show reporters, Susan Collins, and the entire Republican and Democratic establishment that we’re all-in to defeat Susan Collins in 2026 with a Democrat who will actually fight to protect our democracy.

I’ll admit, it’s a big goal. But I’ve learned in life that that’s how important things are accomplished: By setting big goals and then working together to hit them. We are so close to hitting this goal, and with your donation now, we’ll be able to show everyone the strength of our campaign and finally send Susan Collins packing in 2026.

I’m not taking money from corporations or AIPAC. Instead, we’re building a campaign funded entirely by grassroots donors like you.

So please, will you split a donation now between our campaign and No Dem Left Behind – before our final federally-mandated FEC deadline of 2025 at midnight on December 31st – to help us hit this huge goal and defeat Susan Collins? 

Let’s show everyone that we are 100% committed to finally giving Susan Collins the boot and flipping Maine blue to take back the Senate for Democrats.

We are going to win this race, but we can only do it together.

In solidarity,

Graham Platner
