Maine Beacon - In a closed-door speech to Republican Party faithful in Lewiston Saturday night, Sen. Susan Collins griped about criticisms of her record, made false claims about the effects of the 2017 federal tax breaks and publicly welcomed former Governor Paul LePage, who has been mulling another run for the Blaine House, back to Maine politics.
“Gov. LePage is back,” Collins announced to “cheering and applause,” according to Lewiston Sun Journal reporter Steve Collins. The journalist was barred from the event by party leaders but managed to listen to the senator’s speech from a hotel hallway.
Collins endorsed and fundraised for LePage during his successful 2010 and 2014 runs for governor.
