Susan Collins office in Maine spray-painted with obscenity

One of Sen. Susan Collins’s (R-ME) federal offices in Maine was vandalized with profane graffiti, her top deputy confirmed on Monday.

Chief of staff Katie Brown said that “Senator Collins and her staff will not be intimidated” after her office in Biddeford, one of six in the state, was spray-painted with the message “Trump wh***.”

“Vandalism is unacceptable,” Brown said in a statement. “Our Biddeford constituent service office remains open, and we will continue serving the people of Maine.”

A spokesperson did not disclose when the graffiti, spray-painted onto the glass doors of her office, was discovered or if it was reported to the police. Matt Harrington, the assistant Republican leader in the state Senate, revealed the vandalism in a Monday morning post on X. The paint has since been removed.

The incident comes just five weeks before Maine voters head to the polls for an election that will decide whether Collins, first elected in 1996, serves a sixth term in the Senate.

Democrats have attempted to link her to President Donald Trump, his trade war with Canada, and the GOP tax law Republicans passed last year.

Collins, meanwhile, is banking on her centrist reputation, as well as the money she’s steered to the state as the Senate’s top appropriator, to help her overcome the political headwinds Republicans are facing this cycle.

Troy Jackson, the Democratic nominee for Senate, denounced the graffiti in a Monday statement, telling the Washington Examiner that “there’s no place for this in Maine.”

“Vandalism and intimidation are wrong, full stop,” he said. “Senator Collins and her staff should be able to do their jobs without anyone defacing their office, and I condemn whoever did this.”
