It's not to lead them.
It's to represent their interests and to listen to them and to be accessible to them.
And I think the best way that we do that
right now between now and November we build a broad-based coalition the state of Maine where After I win it cannot go away It needs to remain because winning the Senate seat back from Susan Collins is just the beginning I mean the fights we have to come getting money out of politics term limits making sure that we don't have politicians who enrich themselves while in office and
pulling back war powers from the executive back into the hands of Congress, which is constitutionally where it's supposed to be, changing our tax code, things like a universal health care system, universal child care, using the resources of our society to uplift all of us instead of just enriching a few, that is going to be a long slog.
And the power we're going to need to do it, it's not going to come from one politician.
It's not going to come from one senator or one congressperson.
It's going to require the involvement of tens of thousands of Mainers, millions of Americans.
That's what we're building.

It's important to remember that up until now, the campaigns that have generally been run against Susan Collins have been directed from Washington, D.C.
They've involved the National Party in many ways.
That's where they've been directed.
That's where they choose the candidates.
I mean, as everybody probably has noticed, I was not
the chosen candidate of the party in Washington, D.C.
