Maine edition (potential challengers to Susan Collins)-
Overrated:
Susan Rice- Weak ties to Maine, someone who can easily be tied to Washington D.C. isn't the best choice.
Cathleen London- Who? Didn't even vote for the Democrat in the race to unseat Bruce Poliquin.
Jared Golden- He's on this list not because he's a weak candidate (he's actually great!), but because he just won a highly contested U.S. House seat and I think he'd look too ambitious if he jumped right into a Senate race.
Chellie Pingree- Fine for the first district, I don't see how she appeals to the second district though.
Underrated:
Troy Jackson- Wins a Trump state senate district as a progressive, Senate Majority Leader, second district, logger, seen as an everyday guy, big on labor rights.
Erin Herbig- 5th generation resident of Waldo County, former Maine House Majority Leader, worked for Maine Farmland Trust, young, won her state senate district by 19 points in 2018 when the Republican won it by 3 in 2016, second district.
