Sen. Susan Collins is no longer “Our Senator.” She no longer listens to Mainers, only corporate special interest groups. She recently took 95% of her campaign money from outside of Maine, including $1.5 million from big business.

Her vote in support of the Trump tax bill continues to worsen record wealth inequality and add about $1.5 trillion to our nation’s debt, harming future workers in Maine as well as Social Security and Medicare beneficiaries.

Her vote to support Brett Kavanaugh is a slap in the face to all respectful Mainers, especially women. Collins voted to confirm nearly every Trump judicial nominee. To preserve our democracy, we must take back our courts from judges who are appointed to do the president’s bidding.

Collins continues to support Trump administration policies, however harmful to Maine and to our democracy. We must wake up and understand that she is no longer represents Maine people.
