Susan Collins challenger hit with ethics complaints

The Hill -Maine House Speaker Sara Gideon, a Democrat running to challenge Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) next year, is facing ethics complaints filed Friday by a former GOP lawmaker over Gideon's political action committee's  activities. Former state Sen. Ed Youngblood (R) filed complaints with the Federal Elections Commission and the Maine Ethics Commission alleging that Gideon broke the law by accepting reimbursements for her political donations from her own PAC.
