U.S. Rep. Tom Allen, D-Maine, will address the Democratic National Convention tonight between 6:30 and 7, according to his campaign.

His remarks will be carried live on CSPAN.

Allen will be one of four Democratic Senate candidates to speak. He'll be joined by Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire, Jeff Merkley of Oregon and Tom Udall of New Mexico.

Today's theme is Securing America's Future, and Allen's remarks are expected to reinforce that idea.

Allen faces Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, in the November election.
