His website has much info about him that gets me excited

I will be a Senator for all those who can’t buy Senators.


Healthcare is a basic human right — not a privilege, not a perk, a right. As a veteran, I’m fortunate to receive quality care through the VA. But Americans should not have to put on a uniform or fight in misguided foreign wars just to get decent healthcare. Every single person in this country deserves good healthcare, no matter who you are.
We have rural hospitals closing because of policy choices made by Republicans like Susan Collins. In the Senate, I will fight to fund our rural hospitals so that folks across Maine have access to the care they need.
I will be a strong supporter of a Medicare for All system, moving away from the for-profit insurance system that has brought us nothing but grief.


Our government is kidnapping people off the streets and imprisoning them in hellish conditions. This is unconscionable.


Maine is a special place, and our way of life, our economy, and our future depends on preserving it.
In the Senate, I will fight for urgent action on climate change. We see it; we know it’s happening; and we know that without sustained action, everything is at risk.


We need to bring back serious federal support for building housing.
The VA home loan program has provided a critical lifeline to many Americans. These home loans should be available to far more Americans, providing a critical lifeline.


And more - Defend Medicare and Medicaid

Protect Social Security – before it goes bankrupt

End billionaire tax dodging

Uphold tribal sovereignty and self-determination

Strengthen our working waterfront

Support unions, and bring good union jobs to Maine

Defend and support public schools

Keep government out of our private lives; defend the right to choose

Protect Maine’s economy: raise the federal minimum wage

Equality for ALL

End the failed War on Drugs

Take on waste and corruption at the Pentagon; rebuild American shipbuilding

No more pointless wars

Address the childcare crisis

Pay servicemen a fair wage; no more servicemen on food stamps

Defend the VA and support our veterans

Defend the Post Office and establish postal banking

Pass term limits – and hold politicians to their term limits pledges

Oyster farmer and military service — I hope Maine gives him a good hard look.
