The Collins for Senator campaign is running our second television ad:

The Collins for Senator campaign will begin running television ads on the evening Wednesday July 23. The first two ads are intended to highlight the fact that Senator Collins has a tremendous record of accomplishment during her twelve years in office. The ads point out that a good senator knows how to get things done – and that includes putting partisan politics aside to work in a manner that is in the best interest of the country, something Susan Collins has done throughout her time in the Senate.

What a great day! Along with a huge group of volunteers, including several firefighters, I marched (ran actually!) in the parade celebrating Scarborough's 350th anniversary. Wearing a straw hat with a Susan Collins bumper sticker, my campaign co-chairman, Mert Henry, rode in a dashing old red convertible. The volunteer Scarborough anniversary committee did a fabulous job of organizing the parade which had countless floats, bands, and scouts.

On Friday, Olympia and I both spoke at the annual convention of the VFW in Lewiston and then headed north to meet with town officials, union representatives, and the mill manager at Katahdin Paper Company in Millinocket. Despite its great workforce and plentiful customers, the mill is slated to be shut down at the end of July because the high cost of oil makes it unprofitable. Unlike most paper mills in Maine, the Millinocket mill runs on oil.
