Kiernan Majerus-Collins for Maine House (HD-95)

We need leaders who will fight — not fold. That’s why Our Revolution is proud to endorse Kiernan Majerus-Collins for Maine House of Representatives, District 95.

Kiernan isn’t a career politician, he’s a civil rights and immigration attorney who has dedicated his legal work to protecting the constitutional rights of poor and working-class people — ensuring that justice isn’t just for those who can afford it. 

He’s also served his community directly, including on the Lewiston School Committee, where he advocated for students and families and helped shape local education policy. 

This is the kind of leadership we need: rooted in community, grounded in service, and committed to justice.

A Bold Progressive Agenda for Maine

Kiernan is running on a platform that puts working people first and takes on the core challenges facing Mainers:

  • Lowering the cost of living and making Maine more affordable
  • Building more affordable housing to address the housing crisis
  • Defending immigrant rights and standing up to discrimination
  • Taking on climate change with urgent, forward-looking solutions
  • Strengthening democracy and the rule of law for everyone 

This is a clear, values-driven agenda that recognizes a simple truth: government should work for people — not powerful interests.

Kiernan understands the impact of economic injustice and political neglect. His campaign is about ensuring those voices are not only heard — but centered in policymaking. As he puts it, governing means “remembering that everyone counts.” 

Kiernan represents a new generation of leaders stepping up to carry forward the fight for economic justice, civil rights, and a more inclusive democracy.

Matt Dunlap for Congress (ME-02)

Matt Dunlap for Congress (ME-02)

Our Revolution is proud to endorse Matt Dunlap for Congress in Maine’s 2nd District — a longtime public servant, democracy defender, and progressive leader ready to stand up for working people.

Matt Dunlap has spent decades serving the people of Maine with integrity and independence. From his time in the Maine House of Representatives to seven terms as Secretary of State, and now as State Auditor, he has built a reputation for accountability, transparency, and putting the public interest first. 

But what truly sets Matt apart is his willingness to stand up to power — no matter where it comes from. During the Trump administration, he served on the so-called “election integrity” commission and took it head-on when it became clear it was a partisan effort to undermine voting rights, ultimately helping expose it and force its dissolution. 

Matt has deep roots in the progressive movement. He served as a Maine co-chair for Bernie Sanders’ 2016 campaign, helping build the grassroots energy that continues to power our movement today. He understands that real change comes from organized people — not corporate influence.

Now, he’s running for Congress with a commitment to a “People’s Agenda” that centers working-class needs, challenges corporate power, and pushes back against politicians who side with Republicans and fail to deliver for their constituents. 

At a time when too many Democrats hedge or compromise with corporate interests, Matt is running to be a clear, unapologetic voice for economic justice, voting rights, and a government that works for the many — not the few.

Maine’s 2nd District deserves a representative who will fight for healthcare, defend our democracy, and stand up to Trump and corporate power without hesitation. Matt Dunlap has the experience, the courage, and the movement behind him to do just that.

Our Revolution Endorses Graham Platner for U.S. Senate

By ALL, Endorsement, ME

Our Revolution is excited to get to work to elect Graham Platner for U.S. Senate in Maine!

Graham is a Marine veteran, oysterman, and lifelong Mainer who knows what it means to work hard — and what it feels like when the system is rigged against working people. He’s running to take on Republican Senator Susan Collins and fight for a government that serves the people, not the powerful.

As a small business owner who works Maine’s coastal waters, Graham has seen firsthand how corporate greed and political corruption threaten local economies, the environment, and our democracy. He’s stepping up to defend workers’ rights, protect Maine’s natural resources, and fight for affordable health care, housing, and education for all.

Graham represents the kind of working-class leadership Our Revolution was built to support — authentic, service-driven, and unafraid to challenge the billionaire class. He’s not backed by corporate PACs or big-money interests — he’s powered by people.

Now, we need to power his campaign all the way to victory.

Join us in supporting Graham Platner’s grassroots campaign to unseat Susan Collins and deliver real change for working families.

TROY JACKSON FOR GOVERNOR MAINE

By Endorsement, ME, Uncategorized

We’re proud to announce that Our Revolution is endorsing Troy Jackson for Governor of Maine.

Troy isn’t your typical politician—he’s a logger, union leader, and lifelong fighter for working people. Raised in the North Woods of Maine, Troy knows firsthand the struggles rural Mainers face because he’s lived them. He’s stood shoulder to shoulder with workers on the picket line and never backed down from the corporate elites and political insiders who try to block progress.

As President of the Maine Senate, Troy has delivered real results: expanding access to health care, lowering prescription drug prices, fighting for paid family leave, and protecting collective bargaining rights. He’s helped make Maine a leader on climate jobs and renewable energy, while always putting working families—not wealthy donors—first.

That’s why Senator Bernie Sanders is endorsing Troy, too.

“Troy knows what’s going on with the working class of Maine because he’s part of that working class,” Bernie said. “We need candidates who, unequivocally, will stand with working-class families against the enormous power of the monied interests.”

With Trump and the billionaire class trying to tighten their grip on power, we need governors like Troy Jackson—leaders who aren’t bought, who won’t sell out, and who are ready to fight for the rest of us.

Together, we can elect a governor who works for the people—not the powerful.
