The Democratic advocacy group Majority Forward has launched a $700,000 digital ad campaign targeting Senator Susan Collins (R-ME) for opposing a bipartisan bill that would ban members of Congress and their spouses from trading stocks.The ads criticize Collins for her stance against the proposed congressional stock trading ban<\/a> introduced<\/a> by Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO), portraying her as out of touch with Maine and benefiting from insider trading. The campaign highlights that Collins’s husband owns stock in defense contractors, raising concerns about conflicts of interest given her role as chair of the Senate Appropriations Committee. Collins is seeking reelection in 2026, facing competition within the Republican party, while Democrats consider potential candidates, including Governor Janet Mills. The ads emphasize the call for collins to stop profiting from stock trading and focus on serving her constituents.
