Eight years ago today, Susan Collins voted to confirm Brett Kavanaugh. He went on to help overturn Roe v. Wade. She still says she doesn’t regret her vote. Give her something to regret on November 3. Vote her out.
8 years ago today, 13 women elected officials traveled to DC to meet with ME’s senators about Kavanaugh’s nomination . Sen King met with us & graciously allowed us to wait in his conference room for a meeting with Sen Collins who it turned out wouldn’t give us even 5 minutes of her time. #Women4Troy
“Jackson is much more than a working-class hero from The County. He is kind and funny. He cares about people and works for us every day. He’s one of the most savvy, tenacious and accomplished legislators we’ve known, and he would serve us well in the U.S. Senate.” #Women4Troy #mepolitics
Opinion: We served with Troy Jackson. We’re excited to support him for US Senate.

Once again Collins plays along like T$ump is dealing with a full deck and ignores his incessant flip flops and deranged threats. Too many years in politics for her to claim naivety. Willful ignorance for political gain is more like it. #mepolitics
