There’s been no shortage of speculation that Maine Sen. Susan Collins would run for governor in 2018. But she addressed the subject head-on in an interview with WGAN radio Tuesday morning.

“Let me say that I am looking at where I can do the most good for the people of Maine,” said Collins, according to a report in the Portland Press Herald. “In the Senate I now have significant seniority and that allows me to do a lot,” she said.

Collins serves on the Appropriations, Select Intelligence and Health, Education, Labor & Pensions Committees. She recently spearheaded a letter to Senate leadership urging them to preserve the legislative filibuster.

“Coming to be governor, if I were fortunate enough to be elected … you can work on issues I care a lot [about] like economic development, jobs, education. And I would try to heal the state and bring people back together, which I think is important as well,” she said.

Current Gov. Paul LePage, who’s serving his second term, has been a source of controversy for the Pine Tree State.
