Senator Collins has served in the Senate since 1997 and chaired the Senate Committee on Homeland Security from 2003 to 2007. She now is the Chairwoman of the Senate Special Committee on Aging. Collins is a graduate of St. Lawrence University, a liberal arts college, in Canton, New York. Considered a moderate Republican, she became the only Republican in the U.S. Senate currently representing a state in New England. Her vote was one of three republican votes in the Senate that helped to defeat a bill designed to destroy the Affordable Health Care Program presently in effect. John McCain's heroic stand only mattered because Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski bravely stood by him! It was their courage that saved health care for approximately 22 million people.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Captain Hank Bracker, \"Seawater One" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/captain-hank-bracker-seawater-one/susan-margaret-collins-was-born-on-december-7-1952-in-caribou-maine/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/173/captain-hank-bracker-seawater_affordable-health-ca_susan-margaret-collins-was-born-on-decem_3102023.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/173/captain-hank-bracker-seawater_affordable-health-ca_susan-margaret-collins-was-born-on-decem_3102023.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/173/captain-hank-bracker-seawater_affordable-health-ca_susan-margaret-collins-was-born-on-decem_3102023.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“Susan Margaret Collins was born on December 7, 1952 in Caribou, Maine and is presently the senior United…” — Captain Hank Bracker, \"Seawater One", "creditText": "SMS4Smile Quotes", "creator": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#organization" } } } } ] }, { "@type": "CollectionPage", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/senator-collins/#webpage", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/senator-collins/", "name": "Senator Collins Quotes", "isPartOf": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#website" }, "mainEntity": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/senator-collins/#itemlist" }, "primaryImageOfPage": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/9ff/denis-mcdonough-39368_congress_before-we-announced-judge-merric-garland_107913.jpg" }, "description": "Browse 4 Senator Collins quotes by 3 authors.
