Following the arrest of Senator Susan Collins’ major donor Martin Kao for fraudulently obtaining $12.8 million in Paycheck Protection Program loans by using his DC connections to intimidate banks, Mainers deserve to know the full story about Senator Collins’ relationship with Mr. Kao, his company and their contributions to her reelection campaign.

Senator Collins must come clean about her ties to Martin Kao and answer the following questions for Maine voters:

  1. Do you regret your close relationship with Mr. Kao?
     
  2. Can you confirm that Mr. Kao’s wife is behind creating the fake LLC to give $150,000 to your super PAC, 1820 PAC, via a shady straw donor scheme currently under FEC investigation?
     
  3. What steps will you take to prevent your big money donors from using their relationship with you to fraudulently obtain government funds?
