Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) had the best fundraising quarter of her career after her pivotal vote to seat Brett Kavanaugh on the Supreme Court, according to documents filed with the Federal Election Commission.
After announcing her decision to vote in favor of Kavanaugh’s nomination during a speech on the Senate floor in early October, Collins raised $1.8 million in the final quarter of 2018.
FEC records show that of the nearly $900,000 Collins received from individual donors who contributed more than $200 to her campaign, just $19,000 came from individuals with Maine addresses.
In the quarter before her Kavanaugh vote, Collins had raised a total of $140,000.
