Susan Collins is known for bi-partisan leadership, commitment to Maine, work ethic and small- business advocacy. Her homeland security legislation is landmark. Her investigations are timely, nonpartisan and substantive. She champions our troops, BIW, and our aggressive defense against anti-American terrorism.

We know Susan as a highly ethical, level-headed public servant and a neighbor who makes lasting friendships, loves to compete, tells great stories, practices her faith and cooks wicked good fried green tomatoes. In these troubling times we need just such a leader, voice of reason and friend in Washington.
