Maine group launches resource documenting Collins' voting record, corporate donors

[TexasTowelie]

For voters wanting to examine Senator Susan Collins’ record on critical issues, the grassroots group Suit Up Maine (SUM) has launched an online resource, The Case Against Susan Collins, to shed light on the actions of their senator.

The Case Against Susan Collins provides information on the senior senator’s voting record — including how her votes have been scored by groups like the NAACP and the AFL-CIO — as well as who has been funding her campaigns.

“If Mainers want to see how her tenure has actually impacted people’s lives, they need to look at her votes and follow the money,” said SUM co-leader Kelli Whitlock Burton in a press release.

While Collins has often been referred to as a moderate, her votes have aligned with President Donald Trump’s hard-line positions a majority of the time. This alignment came to a head with her vote for Trump’s 2017 tax bill, which allowed corporations like Amazon and Prudential Financial to avoid paying federal taxes in 2018.
