During the COVID pandemic, I was denied federal help. I reached out to Sen. Susan Collins and within three days the issue was resolved. It was a lifeline for our new business. And thanks to Collins, we not only survived we thrived!
Earlier, when my daughter was attending the University of Maine in Orono, we had an issue with parent loans to ensure she could remain in college. Today, I am proud to say thanks to Collins she not only was able to continue her undergraduate work, but today she is completing her residency program!
I believe Sen. Collins has always helped take care of us Mainers. Additionally she has brought money to the state to ensure our hospitals can continue to operate and that Bath Iron Works builds what I consider the best ships in the nation.
