Breaking: New Poll Results: Maine Democratic Primary for Governor, Initial Trial Heat: Dr. Nirav Shah is the clear frontrunner with 35%

Nirav has more support than his next two primary opponents combined.

While we’re ahead right now, our focus remains the same. Earning every voter’s support by listening, learning, and outlining real solutions to Maine’s most pressing issues — from housing affordability to quality health care.

Before we detail the challenges we’re facing, please pitch in for the first time to help us reach our $18,000 fundraising goal before midnight to help provide the resources we need to keep doing what we’re doing, and more of it — because it’s clearly working.

The new poll numbers underscore the strength of the campaign we’ve built together and the trust Nirav has earned from hardworking folks across age groups and from all walks of life.

But nearly one in five voters still haven’t made up their mind yet, and we have some major challenges to overcome:

Our opponents have interest groups that could potentially back them with MILLIONS — and we must be able to combat them.
Many of our opponents have been in the race for nearly a year — stockpiling resources the entire time, and we need to catch up to counter any attacks.
Traveling across the state, holding town halls to talk to voters one-on-one is not an inexpensive way to campaign.

We’re leading right now because of the campaign we are running together.

But the only way to overcome the challenges ahead is with your support.

Dirigo.

Hi. It’s Nirav Shah. You may remember me from my work as Maine's CDC Director, when I led our state through the uncertainty of the pandemic.

I saw firsthand how we can get through tough times together with empathy, resilience, and vision. And I’ll bring those same values with me to Augusta to tackle the big problems. But to do that, I’m relying on grassroots supporters like you to power our campaign so we can compete in this race.

The challenges our state faces require a leader with a unique set of skills and a clear vision for how Mainers can build a better life.

You’ve trusted me to deliver amid uncertainty before, and now I’m asking for your trust again.

— Nirav
