Hey everyone. Graham Platner here, the oyster farmer and Marine Corps veteran running against Susan Collins for U.S. Senate up in Maine. We're going to try something new today: We're a little bit short of our fundraising goal to beat Susan Collins, and so I'm just going to ask you for $1. Yep, just $1. I know a single dollar is not a lot, but if you add it together with the thousands and thousands of others who pitch in, it's what's going to get us across the finish line. There was another po

We're going to try something new today: We're a little bit short of our fundraising goal to beat Susan Collins, and so I'm just going to ask you for $1. Yep, just $1. I know a single dollar is not a lot, but if you add it together with the thousands and thousands of others who pitch in, it's what's going to get us across the finish line. There was another poll recently that shows me leading Susan Collins in the general election, and that means that the Republican money is about to really turn

Hey everyone, Graham Platner here. Susan Collins, AIPAC, and the Republican Super PACs are already running millions in negative TV ads attacking me and flooding the airwaves. We need to fight back. But to do so, we need money. We need to raise about $100,000, and I'm counting on people like you to give now if we're going to win. I'm not taking money from corporate PACs or special interests like AIPAC. Instead, I'm relying entirely on you to defeat Susan Collins and flip Maine blue. So pleas

It's Graham Platner, your official Democratic nominee for the U.S. Senate seat in Maine. In a moment, I'm going to ask you to donate to our campaign against Susan Collins because the General Election starts right now. But first, I want to say thank you. This is not a campaign about me. It never was. This is a campaign about us. This is about building a movement in the state of Maine. And this not just about defeating Susan Collins. We are taking on the entire corrupt DC establishment. There

At midnight on Tuesday, both Susan Collins and I are facing a federally-mandated fundraising deadline. After June 30th, both of our campaigns will be required by federal law to file a report with the Federal Election Commission (FEC), publicly saying how much we’ve raised. This is our very first FEC report of the General Election, so our fundraising numbers are going to be closely scrutinized and compared to what Collins reports. It’s also our chance to potentially once again out-fundraise Susa

Figures cover domestic political ads paid in dollars, from 4 May 2026. Spend is the sum of Meta’s range midpoints; impressions above one million are reported as “1M+”, so impression figures are floors. Each ad counts in the week its delivery started, with its lifetime spend at our last pull; ads still running before the vote are counted as of 31 October 2026.
