Less than 1 percent of campaign contributions to Sen.

Roll Call reported Collins received donations of more than $200 from only 13 residents of Maine in the first quarter of the year. Two more residents of the state gave Collins a donation of less than $200 this quarter.

While Collins raised a total of $1.1 million in the first quarter of 2019, Roll Call notes that the decrease of home-state contributions is a sharp contrast from the first quarter of 2013, the last time she ran for reelection.

In 2013, donations from Maine residents made up 41 percent of her itemized donations, when she raised $52,000 from 46 itemized donations.

“We were very pleased to have another strong quarter — Senator Collins’ best first quarter ever. We focused our fundraising efforts nationally, which we typically do at this point in the cycle. We have yet to actively solicit any donations from Maine," Amy Abbott, deputy treasurer for Collins's campaign, told The Hill in a statement. "Instead, we have focused our efforts towards countering the more than $4 million dollars that national Democrats have raised for her unnamed challenger.”

The four-term senator is seeking reelection in 2020 in what is expected to be a tough contest as Maine draws a national spotlight — along with an influx of outside spending.

Collins raised $1.8 million that quarter, with only $19,000 coming from people with addresses in Maine. Collins received only $140,000 in the quarter before her vote for Kavanaugh.

Roll Call also pointed out that nearly 70 percent of Collins’s itemized donations in each of her last two reelection cycles came from out of state.
