About
Democrats need to win Maine in 2020. We can do it if we get started now.
In addition to winning Maine’s Electoral College votes, we need to flip Senator Susan Collins’ seat. Collins is one of the most vulnerable Republican incumbents seeking reelection in 2020. Democrats need to flip her seat to win a majority in the U.S. Senate.
Turning out likely Democratic voters in Maine is crucial, and we need your help to do it!
Our primary objectives in Maine are to: 1) flip the U.S. Senate seat currently held by Susan Collins and 2) win the state’s four Electoral College votes.
The pathway to taking back the Senate necessarily runs through Maine. To flip this seat, Democrats need to improve on margins from Collins’s last Senate election in 2014, particularly in the coastal regions of Portland, Augusta, and Bangor. Democratic presidential candidates have typically carried these regions of the state, but Senate candidates have failed to break through in the last four cycles against Collins. This year, with Collins’s flagging approval numbers after her vote to confirm Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court, Maine Democrats have their best opportunity in years to win at every level of the ballot.
