Susan Collins Staff Corrects Constituent Claims of Non-Responsiveness

Chief of Staff Katie Brown issued a public correction to refute claims made by Earle Wingate, a resident of Peru, Maine. Wingate had asserted in a September 30 letter that he received no response to his correspondence with Senator Susan Collins over an eight-year period.

Brown countered this assertion, stating that Wingate actually received seven responses during that timeframe. These communications addressed various political matters, including the senator's support for Ukraine, her vote to convict Donald Trump during his impeachment trial, and her opposition to withdrawing U.S. troops from Syria.

The most recent response occurred on January 28, 2025, when Collins wrote to Wingate regarding her decision to oppose the nominations of Pete Hegseth and Kash Patel to executive branch positions.
