Susan Collins gets $1.1 million for re-election...ONE PERCENT came from Maine voters.



https://www.rawstory.com/2019/04/sen-susan-collins-raised-9200-year-maine-voters-re-election-campaign-report/

Maine Republican Susan Collins is struggling to get Maine voters to back her run for re-election to the U.S. Senate, Roll Call reports, as the embattled senator is coming up dry when it comes to campaign donations from her constituents.

According to the report, Collins raised more than $1.1 million in contributions during the first three months of 2019, but only a small percentage — 1 percent to be exact — of that money came from voters in Maine.

Roll Call reports, “Collins raised $9,200 from 17 itemized donations from Maine during the first three months of 2019. Those came from 15 Pine Tree State residents. Thirteen Mainers gave $200 or more this quarter, while two gave less than $200 this quarter but have given more than $200 to Collins in the aggregate.”

By way of comparison, Collins raised far more — moneywise ($52,000) and percentage wise from Maine voters (41 percent) during the same period when she ran for re-election in 2013.
