Following Senator Susan Collins’ announcement that she will seek a fifth term in the US Senate (and again break her promise to serve only two terms), Maine Democratic Party Chair Kathleen Marra issued the following statement:
“Senator Collins has shown she will put first what the special interests and big pharmaceutical companies want -- even if that hurts Mainers. We deserve a Senator who puts our state and our families first by fighting for affordable health care, securing pre-existing conditions coverage and protecting our environment.
“Mainers are excited to elect a new senator, and Maine Democrats have been organizing. With Collins’ support in Maine at an all-time low, we’ve seen volunteer engagement more than double in comparison to the previous off-year and know this excitement will continue to grow.”
