We need to have our voices heard. In the June Democratic primary, 72% of Maine voters voted for Graham Platner, likely because of his progressive beliefs and ideals. I believe his replacement must represent those same progressive beliefs.

Troy Jackson and Shenna Bellows share those beliefs. A poll found Troy could defeat Sen. Susan Collins by 5 points. Defeating Collins should be our priority.

Please make our voices heard.
