Augusta, Maine – Today, Maine Democratic Party spokesperson Tommy Garcia released the following statement on Susan Collins voting to confirm Trump-appointed Maria Lanahan to the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri:

“Time and again Susan Collins falls in line with her party and votes to confirm anti-choice judges who pose clear threats to women’s reproductive freedom. Voters remember how Collins’ decisive vote to confirm Brett Kavanaugh led to the overturn of Roe and her continued backing of anti-choice judges will only lead Mainers to vote her out in 2026.”

Here are some key points on the nominee Collins just voted to confirm:

• Lanahan helped author and argue Missouri’s complaint seeking to restrict the use and access to mifepristone, a common medication abortion pill.

• Lanahan defended Missouri’s near-total abortion ban.

The Maine Democratic Party previously released a video highlighting Susan Collins offering “No Regrets” on her decisive vote to confirm Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court. See more about Collins’ role in overturning Roe and her continued backing of anti-abortion judges at CollinsDoomedRoe.com.
