Susan Margaret Collins was born on December 7, 1952, and is an American politician. She is a member of the Republican Party and has served as a United States senator for Maine since 1997. Collins was born in Caribou, Maine, and graduated from St. Lawrence University in Canton, New York.
In 1975, she began work as a staff assistant for Senator William Cohen. In 1994, she was the Republican nominee for governor of Maine and finished third with 23% of the vote. Voters first elected Collins to the Senate in 1996, and she has won re-election every six years since.
She has chaired the Senate Appropriations Committee since 2025. Many sources describe her as a moderate Republican who is often a pivotal vote in the Senate. In 2021, she voted to convict Donald Trump in his second impeachment trial.
In October 2020, she was the only Republican senator to vote against Amy Coney Barrett for the Supreme Court. The article says she married Thomas Daffron on August 11, 2012. In 2026, Collins said doctors had diagnosed a benign essential tremor.

The Write-Off That Kept Appreciating After 1994
Any trade whose author, as the Republican nominee for governor of Maine, placed third in 1994 would be unwound by lunch and the author reassigned. Yet that loss became a prologue, and traders now study it as the lone position that appreciated after expiry. The risk officer asks to be defeated somewhere small, immediately.
Founder Congratulates Maine Hackathon Bronze Medalist
Skimming the record, the founder learns she finished third with 23% of the vote and congratulates her on a strong hackathon bronze. He asks which model was demoed, whether judges saw a live product, and where to claim the mug. Told it was a statewide election, he adds 'third place' to his accelerator's wall, above a startup that has pivoted four times.
Partner Memo: Banning 'Aligned' From Term Sheets
TO: Partners. RE: Lone no. The record shows she was the only Republican senator to vote against Amy Coney Barrett, and the footnote counts one no as one no. Here, a solitary dissent in investment committee is minuted as 'bandwidth concerns' by Thursday. Action item: ban the word 'aligned' from term sheets, effective after the next unanimous partner vote.
Trustees Adopt the Worthwhile-Out-of-Vehicle Ratio
The trustees admire removing $870 million in pandemic flu funding from a package of $787 billion, ruled worthwhile but in the wrong vehicle. They coin a ratio, 0.11 Worthwhiles, to grade their own holdings. Their pandemic reserve scores highest, since it sits in no vehicle. Moving it into the regular process, they discover, is a standing agenda item for 2031.
Appraisal: Training Ship Cools Itself, Still Needs Funding
Subject: a new training ship for the academy, declared a number one priority. Cooling: the sea, unpermitted. Power: onboard, undisputed. Finding: even a top priority needs further funds through other measures, which matches our grid position exactly. Recommendation: moor the racks alongside. The harbor commission has already ordered a hearing on the gangway.
Form 12-B Asks Who Allocates the Compute
Form 12-B (invented) asks who has chaired the Senate Appropriations Committee since 2025, then tells our internal compute board to name its own chair. Three leads claim the title; none can say since when. Field 4, 'justification for 40,000 GPUs,' is delegated to a model, which writes a confident paragraph about itself.
Drafting Committee Approves Manual on Dissent Unanimously
Li slides the file across: she voted to convict Donald Trump. Wen drafts a manual chapter, 'Conducting Dissent,' and the committee approves it unanimously in four minutes. Li observes that unanimity defeats the chapter. Wen asks for tea and a sequel on how to disagree with the first chapter.
Posted Notice: How To Be A Staff Assistant
POSTED NOTICE: HOW TO BE A STAFF ASSISTANT. Step 1: Learn that in 1975 she began work as a staff assistant for Senator William Cohen. Step 2: Observe that the title had somewhere to go. Step 3: Check your badge, 'Associate I,' bolted to the same assembly bench since the last contract. Step 4: Ask the steward to bargain for a title with a next rung.
Why Does My Second Restructuring Get No Recess?
Why does a president in his second impeachment trial get a presiding officer, floor debate, and a recorded vote, while my second restructuring gets an auto-summary and a chat link? Who decided process is for defendants with famous names? And when the tool drafts my severance letter in nine seconds, may I at least request a recess?
The One Stray Vote That Got Counted by Name
Somewhere in Washington, one electoral vote for vice president from a faithless elector entered the permanent record, tallied, dated and archived. My lone objection in the launch review, later proven right, was filed under 'sentiment.' Both of us dissented once; only one dissent comes with a certificate. I have asked HR whether faithless is a performance rating.
Footnote: My Profile Cites Exactly One Parser
Many sources describe her as a moderate Republican.¹ My profile has a single source, a résumé parser, which describes me as 'low keyword density' and declines to cite a second. ¹ Reader note: five years after graduation, I would settle for a biography that needs more than one citation and fewer pending statuses.
