Dear John,
I want to begin by expressing my sincere gratitude for your ongoing support. Dedicated supporters like you are the reason I get up every morning to work for Maine and fight for the future of our country.
Today, I am writing to share an important announcement: I am running for re-election to the United States Senate in 2026.
While we have made incredible strides, our work is not yet finished. I am running because Maine needs an advocate who was born and raised here - someone with the backbone to stand up for our values and deliver real results. Over the past year alone, we have secured critical investments for our state, including:
-
Healthcare & Environment: Secured $190 million to support rural hospitals and health care providers and passed the 2026 Interior and Environment Appropriations Act which funds essential services like clean water, scientific research, law enforcement, weather forecasting, and provides support for tribal communities.
-
Local Infrastructure: Delivered $12 million to improve equipment for local fire departments and $8.5 million for community centers in towns like Littleton and Solon.
-
Innovation: Funded a $6.2 million High-Performance Computing Hub in Limestone to help create jobs in fields like medicine, artificial intelligence, and food science.
Leadership often requires making difficult choices. While my colleagues may not always agree with my path, I have always remained firm that these decisions produce the best outcomes for the people of Maine.
I am proud to be from Maine, to fight for Maine, and to contribute to the greatness of America.
My work in the Senate is not done, and I believe I have much more to contribute to the future of our nation.
I would be honored to have you standing with me in this next chapter. Can I count on you to chip in $45, $100, or $250 to kickstart my 2026 campaign?
CHIP IN $45
CHIP IN $100
CHIP IN $250
SUSAN COLLINS, OUR SENATOR
As many of you know, I am often referred to as 'Our Senator.' That isn’t just a title to me; it is a distinction that must be earned every single day.
My constituents know that when they reach out to my office or talk to me with a concern, their voices will be heard and their issues addressed. Mainers know how to stick together, and I am honored to have your trust.
Thank you for your continued support - I look forward to standing with you in 2026.
Sincerely,

Susan Collins
