Maureen Clancy Calls for Removal of Senator Susan Collins

Maureen Clancy, a resident of Cape Elizabeth, published an open letter on July 20, 2026, calling for the removal of Senator Susan Collins from office. Clancy argues that Collins violated a pledge made in 1996 to serve only two terms and has become too disconnected from the interests of Maine residents.

The critique targets Collins' political alignment and legislative record, specifically citing her support for the Save America Act and her backing of President Donald Trump during the war with Iran. Clancy also pointed to Collins' support for Brett Kavanaugh and the provision of funding for Immigration and Customs Enforcement as evidence of a shift away from the state's needs.

Clancy asserts that Maine requires a leader who is not beholden to special interests. She argues the state needs a representative who will prioritize the local economy, environment, and healthcare over Washington political entrenchment.
