Throughout her career, Senator Collins has taken over $5 million from corporate PACs & regularly voted in their interests, including her critical vote for the Trump tax bill. These industries benefited from #CollinsCorporateTaxBreak at the expense of everyday Mainers:

The insurance industry raked in millions in tax breaks, including...
💸 Anthem Insurance: $1.1 million
💸 Blue Cross Blue Shield: $2.3 million

Both companies donated to Senator Collins just days after her vote. #CollinsCorporateTaxBreak

Four big pharmaceutical companies – Pfizer, Johnson & Johnson, Merck, and Abbott Laboratories – saved $7 billion thanks to #CollinsCorporateTaxBreak 💸

Meanwhile, too many Mainers struggle to afford their prescriptions. bit.ly/2EqKwQ8

Even as they laid off thousands of workers and rewarded shareholders, telecommunications giants received huge tax breaks.

💸 Charter: $9.3 billion
💸 Verizon*: $4 billion

*One of Senator Collins’ top contributors! #CollinsCorporateTaxBreak

#CollinsCorporateTaxBreak handed the oil & gas industry $25 billion in tax breaks, including $6 billion for ExxonMobil. 💸

Meanwhile, in the first fundraising quarter of 2019, Senator Collins received over 5x more donations from Texas fossil fuel companies than from Mainers.

After Collins’ vote for the GOP tax bill, big Wall Street banks like JP Morgan and Wells Fargo received $3 million in tax breaks 💸

Throughout her career, Senator Collins has taken more than $2.7 million in campaign contributions from Wall Street. #CollinsCorporateTaxBreak

Prioritizing corporate special interests over the people you represent is completely unacceptable. I’m refusing donations from corporate PACs in this Senate race so that you’ll know who I’m working for in the U.S. Senate – the people of Maine. Join us: gideon.bsd.net/Tax-Anniversar…
