Hey everyone, it's Amy. Um, I wanted to make a statement today and oh, sorry, I'm getting eaten by bugs. Um, I wanted to make a statement today in response to a couple of news articles that are out there about my marriage to Graham. Um, if anybody knows me and Graham personally, you know that we got married in 2023. Um, we live in Sullivan. We've got two dogs and we love each other deeply. So, it makes me really angry, um, disappointed and I find it really shameful that there's a group of media outlets and people who are willing to spread gossip, um, instead of talking about real issues that Graham is running on, like health care and education and child care.
Um, I'm walking up and down my road right now and this is like my 20th take. This is very hard to do. But, um, I just really wanted to make sure that everyone knows that Graham and I have a great marriage. Um, being married is hard. Being newly married is hard. Being newly married and going through infertility is hard. Being newly married, going through infertility and a Senate campaign is hard. Um, I don't even know if I have the right words to describe what we've been going through, but um, our marriage counselor helps. Uh, my personal counselor helps. Graham's personal counselor helps.
Um, and we work on our mental health every day. Um No marriage is perfect. And I don't want a perfect marriage. I want my marriage, and I want to be married to Graham. Sorry, blackflies. Um I knew the man that I married is wonderful and dynamic and probably a genius. Um I knew the man that I married had been through an immense amount of violent active combat. And um he's been in therapy for years. I just I admire the out of him. Um So when there are news articles about our marriage, it's just extra shitty. Can I say that online?
I hope I can. Um It's extra shitty because people in Maine want affordable gas. They want to be able to see their doctor when they're sick. Um They want to be able to send like their kids to a nice school. Uh a nice daycare facility. Um And raise families the way that they want to. So I think I'm feeling angry today. Um And I don't normally make public statements. But it's really important for me to tell all of you out there, especially people who are voting in Maine, that I think it's shameful behavior to spend time and energy and resources on negative ads
and negative stories on Graham when all he's trying to do is improve the lives of people who work for a living. Um and that's it. He doesn't have any other agenda, which is what I think people are trying to dig up. Um And this is a long video, so uh I hope my editing team isn't too frustrated with me. Um I hope that everyone's having a good Saturday. Graham and I really care about the state of Maine. We really love it. We were born and raised here and I think we deserve better. I think Mainers deserve better. And I don't know what else to say. So, if you're editing this video, I'm really sorry.
