No one has done more for Maine’s rivers and lakes since Sen. Edmund Muskie authored the Clean Water Act than Sen. Susan Collins. I retired after 34 years at the Maine Department of Environmental Protection and now work as a consultant in the clean water industry. I have personally worked on and witnessed many clean water projects across the state made possible by federal funding Collins helped secure. I can say from direct experience that Collins’ leadership has delivered real lasting results for Maine people and communities. I believe her record on clean water is unmatched, and Maine is better for it. ~ Nick Archer, Waterford
