“While Susan Collins’ campaign is backed by billionaire donors, our campaign is built on a movement funded by the people, with an average donation of $26,” said Graham Platner’s campaign manager.
A new analysis of campaign finance data shows that nearly 100 billionaires and their spouses have contributed to Republican Sen. Susan Collins’ reelection bid so far, funneling nearly $10 million to the incumbent’s campaign committee and PACs supporting her effort to fend off progressive challenger Graham Platner.
The Maine Monitor on Thursday published a list of billionaires who have donated to Collins and Platner, who has called his Republican opponent a “corrupt” protector and beneficiary of an oligarchic political system.
The outlet noted that Collins’ billionaire donation total “stands in stark contrast with the fundraising of her opponent… whose campaign has mostly attracted smaller amounts of funds but from many more people.”



We need term limits in Congress.
No. 40 years ago we needed term limits in congress. An ounce of prevention on time is worth a shipping container of 7.68 when the problem has gotten stupid.
The best time to plant a tree, and all that…
7.62 ?
I could swear that’s what I typed. Or I’ve been playing a video game with different numbers? Who’s to say.
You need a lot more than that, American
And probably needed more than one little law 40 years ago. I stand by my approximate ratio.
