Maine Democrats - When
Susan Collins first ran for Senate, she promised to serve only two Senate terms. Now, five terms later while she’s running for
her sixth term, she’s refusing to rule out running for a seventh! That
would be nearly 40 years in Washington.
She already had 30 years in
Washington, and she spent those decades repeatedly turning her back on Maine
by:
- Becoming another rubber stamp for MAGA’s extreme
agenda.
- Casting the deciding vote to confirm far-right
Justice Brett Kavanaugh — leading to the overturning of Roe v.
Wade.
- And voting with Trump 96% of the time, even at the
expense of Mainers.
