2026 Maine Senate Nomination Process:

Questions Collins Must Answer in August as Mainers Continue to Call Her Out

Augusta, Maine – For months Susan Collins has been hammered by everyday Mainers for failing them – from serving as a “pivotal vote” to advance the Republican budget bill, to refusing to stop DOGE cuts, to “rubber-stamp[ing]” anti-choice Trump appointed judges.

As she returns to Maine for August recess, Susan Collins still owes Mainers answers to the following questions:

  • Collins’ excuse for voting to advance the toxic GOP budget bill was debunked — so why did she really cast that “pivotal vote” that greenlit Medicaid cuts?

  • Does Collins regret voting to confirm Russell Vought, who is actively trying to strip away the power of the Appropriations Committee?

  • Does Collins still have “no regrets” for casting her decisive vote to confirm Brett Kavanaugh now that Roe v. Wade has been overturned?

  • Why did Collins drop her own amendment that could have blocked the rescissions package and protected funding for rural broadcast and radio?

  • Why does Collins refuse to back legislation that would restrict her and her spouse from trading and selling stocks?

  • When will Collins meet with constituents to explain her votes?

Collins has Cost Us – the least she owes Mainers is answers to why she is failing them and instead having the backs of Donald Trump and Washington Republicans.

This is part of the Maine Democratic Party’s “Collins Cost Us” August recess campaign.
