I admire Susan Collins' backbone. She is able to make tough decisions for us Mainers, and she's always working for us. She has a hard-earned reputation as a problem-solver, and her seniority in Washington tremendously benefits our small state.

This was especially evident with her quick action to draft, pass and launch the popular Paycheck Protection Program, which has been credited with saving our national economy, within three short weeks. Now, she’s back at it, working with her colleagues on a second round of forgivable loans to protect Maine workers.

So thank you, Susan Collins, for all you do, and for never losing sight of what’s important for Maine. You have my support this fall.
