Ethan Harper graduated from Harvard Law School and Andrew Ceonzo graduated George Mason University's Antonin Scalia Law School. Both were in their school's chapters of the Federalist Society. Their involvement (if any) in Sen. Schmitt's line of attack is unclear. I've reached out to both.

Today, Trump’s tariffs go into effect. Despite what Trump says, these sweeping tariffs will only hurt us— and all Collins can tell us is how concerned she is. Mainers need a Senator who will actually stand up to Trump and stop screwing over working people.
