Staffer for Collins working hard with Trump administration

Maine Beacon -A Senate office staffer for Sen. Susan Collins told the Hancock County Republicans that her seat is vulnerable and, despite not endorsing President Donald Trump in 2016, that they are working closely with his administration to address the political hurdles to her re-election bid.

“As I think everybody knows, this campaign is already getting a lot of attention, primarily from the national media. This is being considered to be the biggest race in the Senate. It’s the number one targeted seat in the country,” Carol Woodcock, a state office representative who works in Collins’ Bangor office, told the local Republican party members on June 13 in a video of the event that was posted on YouTube.

“Our party is under siege by Hollywood,” she said. “We are working very closely with the National Republican Committee, the National Republican Senatorial Committee, the Trump administration, the Maine Republican Party, trying to figure out ways to address this problem.”
