We're less than five months away from my Democratic primary.

That might not sound close, but in a race like this, it’ll go by fast.

With a crowded field and outside groups paying attention, the work that wins elections has to start now — showing up, organizing, and talking to voters face-to-face.

That’s why 2026 matters. We need to ramp up our fundraising so we can keep pace with our plans and build a strong, on-the-ground campaign that reaches voters before Election Day.

Here’s where the number five comes in.

Tonight, we’re asking five people from your area to chip in $5. Across the campaign, we’re working to reach 500 contributions before midnight.

Can you be one of the five? ✋

Every $5 helps us do real work, like:

1️⃣ Knocking doors and having real conversations early
2️⃣ Reaching voters before outside money defines the race
3️⃣ Expanding outreach into towns and neighborhoods others overlook
4️⃣ Keeping organizers in the field, not behind desks
5️⃣ Building a campaign focused on Maine people — not corporate interests

$5 might not seem like a big number, but when people step up together, it adds up fast.

If you can give tonight, thank you — high five. 🙌

And if you can’t right now, I’m still glad you’re here. This campaign is about teamwork, trust, and building something better together.

Let’s build a better Maine.
