Maine is my home state, and the place you are from stays with you the rest of your life. I still care deeply about Maine, especially its rivers and fisheries. Sen. Susan Collins has been an inconsistent friend to the economic and ecological health of Maine during her four terms in the Senate. In a time marked by problems as big as global warming and the failure of our economy to support working people, Maine deserves a senator who doesn’t have to walk a tightrope between the needs of her constituents and the demands of the powerful in her party who want ever more breaks for the wealthy. Sara Gideon has earned our support. I’m impressed with her pro-environmental record as speaker of the House, and that she has the knowledge, experience and the drive to help jump-start Maine’s clean-energy economy. ~ Yvon Chouinard, founder of Patagonia
