Maine needs a Senator with the experience of taking on the wealthiest interests in America – someone who understands the courage it takes to stand up to truly powerful people.
I’m Daira Smith-Rodriguez, and it's time to Audit the Pentagon and Fund the People.

Today, I am formally suspending my campaign. I want to thank my team, our volunteers, and everyone who supported our fight.
I look forward to continuing to fight alongside Maine activists as we work to protect our communities in these trying times.

🥾 "Pick yourself up by your bootstraps"? That’s a lie. Our system is rigged so working families drown in debt while the wealthy hoard opportunity.
Predatory loans and corporate greed are chaining an entire generation to debt. Education should be a ladder, not an anchor.

People like Trump live for greed and gain, cutting necessary programs and funding to line their already full pockets and make life worse for those who are already struggling.
It’s time we audit the 1% and fund Maine for Maine.

Our kids are told their future depends on a 4-year degree — but too often that “future” means crushing debt and broken promises.
We need affordable schools, debt relief, and job pathways that work for everyone.
Education should open doors — not chain us to poverty.

True representation in government and accountability for corporations are needed now more than ever.
We need to take on the moneyed interests who have stripped us of our rights, our homes, and our healthcare.

Property taxes funding schools means zip codes decide opportunity. Wealthy families get the best education, while working-class kids are left behind.
We need equity in funding, affordable college and trade schools, and real pathways to work.

Let me be clear: what is happening to the Palestinians in Gaza checks off all of the boxes. There is no debate. There is no doubt.
This is an ongoing Genocide, and it must be stopped.

“Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness” is supposed to be a central value of this country, but truthfully, it only applies to those at the very top.
I will fight corruption and greed wherever I see it, so that we can all live the American dream we were promised.

Mainers across the state are standing up and speaking out to protect our communities. It was an honor to join the weekly protest in Wells this weekend.
In these troubled times, we owe it to our neighbors to stand up, speak out, and get involved!

We need real investment in Maine's healthcare, and we need real leadership that understands that this isn’t just about numbers on a report.
This is about our neighbors, our loved ones, and our futures.

Who gives a damn about the comfort of the ultra-wealthy when we can barely afford groceries?
We’ve gotten it all wrong for decades. We need to focus on consumer protection, not on corporations' comfort.

In 2021, Maine finally decided to fund education by 55%. And yet, these funds are coming from the taxpayer, NOT the ultra-wealthy.
