Donate to Council for a Livable World and 2 Maine candidates
Two of the hottest congressional races this year are in Maine, one for the House and one for the Senate.
Add to these two contests a bid by President Trump to capture an electoral vote in Maine’s second district — as he did in in 2016 — and the Pine Tree state will have a full share of close races.
House race: Rep. Jared Golden (D) won a major upset in 2018 against a Republican incumbent where the results were not known for days after the election. Golden squeaked in with 50.5% of the vote. Trump won the district 51-41% in 2016, so with him at the top of the ticket, Golden’s race is a definite toss-up.
Golden, who enlisted as an infantryman in the Marines and deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan, has voted against building a new, low-yield nuclear weapon, as well as new medium-range missiles, and for prohibiting U.S. military action against Iran without prior congressional approval.
Senate race: Sara Gideon (D), the Speaker of the Maine House of Representatives, is in a close contest against Sen. Susan Collins, who is now one of the most unpopular Senators in the country. Polls show the candidates tied, a great position for a challenger to be in. Gideon will be a strong supporter of arms control in the Senate.
Please consider helping both candidates generously. We can then hope that as Maine goes, so goes the nation.
Please consider splitting a donation between Council for a Livable World and this candidate! We have never needed your voice and advocacy more. Thank you for your support! And remember, your first $5 donation to the Council begins or renews your membership for one year.
