New ad hits Susan Collins for using her office to help her lobbyist husband



By Dan Desai Martin -September 15, 2020 1:08 PM

Democratic nominee Sara Gideon is targeting Collins' record seven weeks before Election Day.

A new campaign ad slams Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) for promoting policies that benefitted her husband, who was a lobbyist.

"Susan Collins has a secret," the ad from Democratic nominee Sara Gideon states. "Collins pushed for policies that benefitted her husband's lobbying business [and] voted to repeal attacks on firms like his." The narrator also states that Collins fought against a push by President Barack Obama to force such companies to disclose contributions.

The ad concludes by stating that Collins is "not for you anymore."
