Collins Just Put Another Anti-Choice, Anti-Health Care Judge on the Bench

Maine Democratic Party Executive Director Lisa Roberts issued the following statement on Senator Collins voting to confirm Michael Truncale - an anti-choice former politician who supports dismantling the health care law - for a lifetime appointment to the federal court:

“Senator Collins just put another anti-choice judge who supports dismantling the health care system and protections for Mainers with a pre-existing condition on the bench, just the latest example of how she is no longer the moderate voice she promised to be in the Senate. Senator Collins has toed the party line to support 99% of Trump’s judicial nominees, and also voted for the tax law that’s now the basis of the lawsuit to take down the Affordable Care Act. After more than 20 years in Washington, Collins is doing more for the special interests and out-of-state donors who comprise 99 percent of her campaign donations than for the Mainers who elected her. It’s time we elect someone who hasn’t forgotten how to stand up for Maine.”
