Maine's House speaker raked in over $1 million in 10 days as part of her campaign to unseat the Republican senator.
Democrat Sara Gideon, the establishment-backed challenger to Maine’s Republican Sen. Susan Collins in 2020, reeled in significantly more from in-state donors in less than two weeks than Collins has since January.
Roughly $26,000, or a mere 1.3% of her total haul, came from people who gave $200 or less. A whopping 95% of Collins’ remaining contributions came from out-of-state donors, with only about $98,000 given from people in Maine. This is BIG: Since we announced our #MESen campaign last week, we've raised $1 million+ and it's powered by grassroots supporters like YOU. 2,000 Mainers pitched in from across the state and ~97% of contributions were $100 or less. I cannot thank you enough. #MEpolitics pic.twitter.
Asked about Collins’ change of position, Amy Abbott, deputy treasurer of the senator’s campaign committee, told HuffPost in April that “all serious candidates for federal office in Maine raise a majority of their money out-of-state.” Still, Collins had the biggest fundraising period of her career following her Kavanaugh vote, raking in $1.8 million ― the vast majority of which came from out-of-state supporters.
