    The voters just might care... a lot. I care, because taking that Maine senate seat is very doable. Why nominate this guy to run for a very important position when he arrives with a built-in albatross tight around his neck? Surely there are others in the state qualified to run who don't carry that stupid decision around with them.

    the platform that he’s running on

    Where I Stand

    Maine is becoming unaffordable for thousands and thousands of us. Why? Because we have a government by, of, and for billionaires, who are building a "billionaire economy" that none of us can afford.

    I'm not just running against Susan Collins: I'm running against the billionaire class that owns her and all of Washington.

    We should not settle for politicians who speak in vague generalities about policy. Here is where I stand.

    Most importantly, I want to hear from you, as this platform grows and develops. Please reach out to info@grahamforsenate.com with any thoughts or additions you might have, or to schedule a further conversation.

    Overview

    America has entered a new Gilded Age. We have a government of, by, and for billionaires: a direct consequence of disastrous court decisions, capped by Citizens United, that have allowed billionaires to buy elections.

    As a result, they have built a “billionaire economy”. One that creates explosive growth for a tiny, privileged few, for a handful of billionaires and multi-national corporations; and inflation, stagnation, and decline for the rest of us.

    In 1990 there were 66 billionaires in America. Today there are over 900. When you look around, do you see a community that is over 10 times wealthier than in 1990?

    And so, while my platform spans many issues, I view most of my job as a US Senator as to do two things: one, to ban billionaires buying elections; two, to dismantle the “billionaire economy”, in favor of an economy that works for the American worker, for small business, for the vast majority of Americans. I will be a Senator for all those who can’t buy Senators.
