Batting 481 out of 500 is a remarkable feat on any level. Organizing, executing a solid campaign is vital to defeating Collins. Big plus is this was done by Troy Jackson and Mainers. I know, he personally called me. We don’t need DC consultants running our show w/TV airs wars. #MESen #mepolitics

So hot today but a late e ending boat ride helped to cool off. #maine

I’m fortunate that this is where I get to run just a couple miles from my front door. #maine #running

This validates my decision to rank Baldacci 4th. The mission is to defeat LePage and the GOP, not to litigate a personal grievance. #mepolitics

This race looks tight, but I hope Shenna Bellows comes out in the end with a victory. #mepolitics

Race for Maine Senate in the Democratic primary already called.

My pledge to you is this: as your next governor, I will always say what I mean and I will always do what I say. Thank you Maine

A good day to be a Golden Retriever. Obi found some prime mud and didn’t hesitate to take a ‘swim’. #golden #dog #Maine

I don't care what goes on in anyone's bedroom or marriage. It's one of the first revelations I had when still a republican during the marriage equality vote in Maine and struggled to answer what the relationship between consenting adults had on me or why it was any of my business. #mepolitics

Spent a few hours in Bar Harbor. It’s definitely starting to get busy, but it was still a gorgeous day. #Maine #BarHarbor

My number one ranking in CD2.

If you like him, don't like him, or are unsure – I believe it's well worth your while to read Shay's final piece wrapping up her thoughts on Maine's U.S. Senate primary. Excellent & in-depth, it reveals bits I bet most of us did not know and that helped cement many of my own thoughts. #MEpolitics

I think it’s important to look at the Dem candidates in ME in CD2, gubernatorial, & senate races who don’t get invited to the ‘party’ & ask,“Why not?” Baldacci, Shah, King III, & LaFlamme seem to be on the outs with the other candidates, who have all appeared together outside debates. #mepolitics

It was great to join Healthy Morning to talk about our race for Governor! I will never back down to bullies and I’m proud to be running to be Maine’s next Governor.

Always unsurprised when trolls have thin skin. Kung Fu Kitty sure liked to dish it out, but not take it. 🤣

The anti-Platner crew is crazy. This account has been booted off BS multiple times and now they are using the name of one of my family members as their screen name.

Opponents went all in on smearing Graham Platner as a Nazi based on a bad tattoo choice. It didn’t work. Maine voters decided they’d rather have universal health care and an end to reckless wars than a polished politician with an unblemished past.

Maine would do well to have Bellows as our next governor. #mepolitics

You heard it from Graham. As Secretary of State, I am making plans to protect our elections from federal interference, and as your next governor, I will continue this work so that the only people who influence our elections are Maine voters.

It’s been several years since I’ve visited the small stream on the back of my property (too many projects), but it was a beautiful afternoon and it’s time for me to work on trails and take care of blow downs. #maine #outdoors #stream

Boston wasn’t far enough south for done warmth- and the Red Sox couldn’t pull out the win, either.

Getting into our #EV in a couple minutes to travel 560 miles today. Going to see the Red Sox- down and back trip.

54 degrees and I have a smudge going in the vineyard as I reconfigure some raised beds. #maine

The writing was on the wall a few weeks ago. Thank you to Janet Mills for your service to Maine. It's time for move forward. #mepolitics

She’s talking about Janet Mills, Susan Collins, and why Maine needs data centers. Quite the trifecta.

This is the opposition to Platner. This is what they say and think.

Politicians are great at self-promotion & never miss an opportunity to talk about their accomplishments. Janet Mills isn’t celebrating a ‘win’ for the town of Jay anywhere online. Mills doesn’t have a post on BlueSky, Threads, Instagram, or FB about her veto. Why not? #mepolitics

Hate the AI pic, but good piece by Thom Hartmann

I’m glad our next Governor and Senator from Maine isn’t going to be Janet Mills. THIS is why younger candidates are needed because someone needs to consider the future of our state. Data centers are not more important than our environment.

This is why Mills should not be a Senator. How is this any different than Collins? #mepolitics

In Indonesia, hundreds of poor households got cash payments, and even though it was only about reducing poverty, it led to a 30% drop in deforestation. And in Namibia, a UBI experiment led to a 95% drop in animal poaching. There are things we do to nature purely out of the need for money to live.

Two schools will receive funding in Maine for new construction. They received funding because they burned down, but many other schools have buildings like this one, a portable which has been in use for almost thirty years. Maine kids deserve better schools and better funding formula.

Yes! This is what we’re talking about. Taxing the ultra-rich out-of-staters to fund childcare, healthcare and education. Let’s go, Maine!

I understand posts like these are specifically designed to create rage bait engagement, but man, can we not? There are fewer pleasures in the world each day it seems- can’t we at least drive what we want/ need without someone saying we should drive a matchbox car, or better, ride a bike?

Morning sunrise. Still no leaves on the trees, but it felt like spring this morning. #maine

Whether it’s the horrific stories tied to Jeffrey Epstein or today’s articles regarding resigning congressmen, it’s important to always shed light on the horrors and perpetrators of sexual assault; the actions to prevent sexual assault; and the support services available to survivors #MEpolitics
