Susan Collins voted with Trump 96% of the time. And if she votes against Republicans, she waits until her vote won’t change the outcome. Mainers aren’t stupid. We deserve a fighter who will actually stand up to Trump.

Did you catch this at the debate? Paul LePage said he wants America to "go in and finish it" in Iran. Finish what, exactly? I'll say it plainly: I will never support boots on the ground in Iran.

Proud to earn the endorsement of United Auto Workers Region 9A. I've pledged to support the PRO Act to protect collective bargaining rights and crack down on union busting. Working people built Maine, and they deserve a representative who stands with them.

Trump's proposed changes to the way homeless programs are funded could push 100,000 people back into homelessness. “These are new rules that go against decades of evidence that have proven what works when it comes to homelessness prevention.” buff.ly/1pbAJtj

HUD’s $4B grant program aims to reduce homelessness, but will it do the opposite?
The Trump administration is implementing new funding restrictions for homelessness programs nationwide, and critics warn those changes could leave thousands more people without housing

"He's just a good man." "Honest." "A straight shooter." Real Mainers describe Matt Dunlap, a former union man who grew up on a farm in Hancock County and knows what it's like to work for a living. Vote for the candidate who earns that reputation every day. 📺 Watch our new ad:

Attorneys for Christina Blasey Ford: "[Susan] Collins may claim to be a moderate, but she does not vote like one. And where Dr. Ford demonstrated tremendous courage, Sen. Collins has demonstrated that she will always place politics over principle." tinyurl.com/yb6pyx63 #MEpolitics
Press Herald article: "Collins justified her vote by explaining that she had met privately with Kavanaugh, who, in addition to denying the assault, assured her that he would honor precedent, including Roe v. Wade. She subsequently also told CNN that with regard to Dr. Ford’s sexual assault, “I do not believe that Brett Kavanaugh was her assailant. I do believe that she was assaulted. I don’t know by whom, and I’m not certain when, but I do not believe he was the assailant.”
This preposterous explanation, while politically expedient, was offensive not only to Dr. Ford but to survivors everywhere. Conveniently forgotten by Collins was Dr. Ford’s sworn testimony that she was “one hundred percent” certain that it was Kavanaugh who had assaulted her. Also ignored was the important fact that Dr. Ford had named Kavanaugh as her assailant to her friends, therapist and husband years before his nomination."

Susan Collins was asked tonight about the FBI pay-to-play probe of her inner circle. Her answer: "false." False? Her donor is in federal prison. His $150,000 went to a super PAC backing her. The inquiry closed after Trump took office. Try again.

The rural health transformation fund is quintessential Susan Collins. She wants credit for an inadequate fix to a problem she helped to create. And then that inadequate fix becomes even worse because of the Trump officials she voted for #mepolitics

Former Watergate prosecutor and US attorney notes that while Susan Collins has done a lot of hand-waiving in response to the corruption revelations in @propublica.org's bombshell report...she hasn't actually grappled with or refuted the substance of what's presented in the article. #MEpolitics
Daily News column:

Maine Senator Susan Collins will be forced in four upcoming debates with her Democratic opponent, Troy Jackson, to address the facts reported in ProPublica’s bombshell exposé that she accepted illegal campaign contributions from a government contractor in exchange for help with a Pentagon deal. To date, her response has been limited to attacking her accuser as a liar for cooperating with the FBI to deflect voters’ attention away from his incriminating testimony.
In an interview with the Wall Street Journal, Collins denied without a factual response the detailed ProPublica allegations that she had accepted donations from defense contractor Navatek in return for millions of dollars in U.S. Navy contracts:
