Susan Collins

U.S. Senate

ME U.S. Senate

Susan Collins is one of the last true Republican moderates in the Senate, having served Maine since 1997. She is the most senior Republican woman in Senate history and has built a reputation for bipartisan deal-making — often casting deciding votes on major legislation. She voted to convict President Trump in the 2021 impeachment trial. In 2020, she survived a well-funded Democratic challenge by Sara Gideon. Maine's ranked-choice voting and independent-leaning electorate make every Collins race a genuine contest.
