Jeff Sessions is running for office, and that's good news to Susan Collins.

"I have come to know Senator Sessions professionally as trusted colleague and personally as a trusted friend. I can vouch confidently for the fact that Jeff Sessions is a person of integrity, a principled leader, and a dedicated public servant," Collins said during Sessions' 2017 confirmation hearing for attorney general.

This is a man whose nomination to a federal judgeship was rejected by a Republican-led Judiciary Committee nearly three decades ago for being too racist.

Now, a year after he resigned his attorney general post, Sessions wants to be a senator again. He and Collins have a lot in common. In fact, during the 115th Congress, she voted with then Senator from Alabama on 16 of 19 votes before she voted to confirm him as attorney general.

Pitch in now and help us defeat Susan Collins!

Sessions's AG nomination was opposed by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, the National Organization for Women, the Urban League, the American Jewish Congress, and many, many more.

He was the architect of the child separation policy at the U.S. Mexico border, inflicting generations of trauma on innocent refuge seekers.

As his last act as Attorney General under Trump, he signed an order that made it harder for the Justice Department to investigate police departments with patterns of abuse, racism, questionable shootings, and other constitutional violations.

Thirty years ago, moderate Republicans thought Jeff Sessions was too racist to serve as a judge. Too homophobic. Anti-women. And anti-immigrant. Susan Collins, a "moderate" Republican of the Trump era, thinks he's a "dedicated public servant and a decent man." She argued that those who opposed Sessions "did not know him."

We know enough. And we know that when it comes down to it, Susan Collins has proven she'll take the side of a racist Senator from Alabama instead of acting in the best interests of Mainers.

We're counting down the days until we can vote her out. Chip in $3 to help us fight for Mainers.
