usan Collins just had the best fundraising quarter of her career, hauling in a record $1.8 million in the final stretch of last year. Why the big haul?

By comparison, she raised just $140,000 total in the quarter before the vote.

Democracy thrives in the sunlight….vote out politicians who pander to the wealthy.
