Sen. Susan Collins announced that she intends to run for reelection, seeking a fifth term in what will likely be the most difficult campaign of her career
Maine Sen. Susan Collins announced Wednesday she intends to run for reelection, seeking a fifth term in what will likely be the most difficult campaign of her career.
Collins has been raising money and running TV ads as if she was running for reelection for months, but delayed any official announcement, creating widespread speculation about her intentions. In a letter to supporters Wednesday, she made her plans clear.
Democrats argue that Collins has lost her bipartisan credentials in recent years and expect to give her the most difficult challenge of her career. They’re likely to nominate state House Speaker Sara Gideon, who faces a primary but leads the field in fundraising and has been endorsed by the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee and a host of Maine Democrats.
The race has already featured more than $7 million in TV, radio and digital ads from Collins, Gideon and a handful of outside groups, and is likely to be the most expensive race in Maine's history.
