U.S. Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, will endorse former Republican Gov. Paul LePage Wednesday in a pre-recorded video as LePage kicks off his campaign to challenge Democratic Gov. Janet Mills in 2022.
Collins, who is serving her fifth consecutive term in the Senate, won reelection in 2020 with 51 percent of vote.
As Maine recovers from the pandemic, Paul is the best candidate to grow our economy, Collins says in the minute long video, which was released exclusively to the Press Herald on Wednesday afternoon.
Paul and I believe that Maines small businesses our the backbone of our economy, Collins says. We must support our job creators and Maines hard-working families. Paul is a job creator, thats his background, hes done it before and he will do it again.

He's utterly deplorable.
