Emily, Growing up in Allagash and spending years working 80-hour weeks in the woods to make ends meet, I know firsthand what working Mainers need from our government. And for 30 years, Susan Collins has failed us. Time and again, she has sold us out to Donald Trump and his MAGA agenda while pretending we’re too dumb to notice. And I’m sick of it. My name is Troy Jackson. I’m a proud Mainer, father, and fifth-generation logger. Emily, let me tell you a bit about what this race means to me. When I was growing up, I was a poor kid in a town full of poor kids. My family relied on food assistance at times. I distinctly remember when I was 13 years old, we didn’t have heat or running water, and I heard my mother quietly crying to herself, wishing she could do more for us. After high school, I became a logger like my dad, and his dad, and his dad before him. When a greedy landowner tried to screw my fellow loggers and me out of fair wages, I fought back. A whole bunch of politicians, including then-first-term Senator Susan Collins, promised to listen, but they left us high and dry — and I realized that nothing would change unless there were working-class voices in power. So I ran for the Maine legislature, where I served 20 years, including six years as the President of the Maine Senate. It’s been the honor of my life to fight for working people. I drove hours each way between the North Woods and the State Capitol, because that's what the job required. I won those elections in a district that went for Trump by nearly 20 points, because up here, people care less about a label and more about whether you give a damn about their family. Emily, I’m building this campaign the right way. With grassroots support from folks like you. I’m not running to impress the billionaires or the corporate class. I’m running for the mom who’s worried about how she’ll fill her gas tank this week. I’m running for the kid whose whole life will be determined by the quality of his education. I’m running to ensure every working family in Maine has the government they deserve.

How we win this race and defeat Susan Collins
anything we can say?

Emily — is there anything we can say to convince you to donate $7 to the DNC today? What if we told you that we’re the only organization working every single year to elect Democrats at all levels of government, in every corner of the country? What if we told you that Trump and his Republican allies are dumping millions into attack ads against battleground Democrats. What if we told you we’re under four months out from Election Day, and flipping the House and the Senate is the best way to put a stop to Trump’s cruel agenda? Emily, these aren’t hypotheticals — these are all realities we’re facing this year. We’re counting on our team of grassroots supporters to help us reach our end-of-month fundraising goal so we have the resources we need to compete and win.

Cheaper than Amazon Prime

Emily, There are just 99 days left until Election Day — so today we’re reaching out to ask you to chip in $9.99 to the DNC. $9.99 because Democrats have to keep our foot on the gas until the polls close 99 days from now if we want to win. $9.99 because every contribution helps our organizing fellows who are registering young Democratic voters in swing states as we speak. $9.99 because the DNC is the only organization that works every single year to support Democrats running for office up and down the ballot — and support about 10,000 campaigns per cycle. $9.99 because for less than the price of Amazon Prime, you can make a tangible impact on the future of our country.

$7, not more...

Emily, Our end-of-month fundraising deadline is approaching fast, and once it’s here we’ll have to report how much we’ve raised in July. It’s no secret that everyone will be looking at our fundraising total. But there’s another number that we’ll be watching that is just as important: The number of people who’ve chipped in this month to help elect Democrats up and down the ballot and across the country this November If everyone receiving this email chipped in $7, we would shatter fundraising records — but the truth is, less than 1% of people reading this will give today. Emily, every single donation — regardless of the amount — represents a supporter just like you who has decided to chip in some of their hard-earned money to support our work. And the more people chip in before our July deadline, the clearer it becomes that Republicans should be nervous about what’s coming for them.
