A new analysis of campaign finance data shows that nearly 100 billionaires and their spouses have contributed to Republican Sen. Susan Collinsā reelection bid so far, funneling nearly $10 million to the incumbentās campaign committee and PACs supporting her effort to fend off progressive challenger Graham Platner.
The Maine Monitor on Thursday published a list of billionaires who have donated to Collins and Platner, who has called his Republican opponent a ācorruptā protector and beneficiary of an oligarchic political system.
The outlet noted that Collinsā billionaire donation total āstands in stark contrast with the fundraising of her opponentā¦ whose campaign has mostly attracted smaller amounts of funds but from many more people.ā
