Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, formally announced her intention to seek a sixth term in the Senate on Tuesday.

"As a proud native of Maine, I've dedicated my life to serving our state and nation," she said on social media. 'I am deeply grateful for the unwavering support Mainers have shown me over the years. It is an honor to serve you, and I'm excited to announce my run for re-election to the U.S. Senate in 2026."

Collins is expected to face either Gov. Janet Mills, D-Maine, or Graham Platner, who are currently locked in a tight struggle for the Democratic nomination.

The Maine senator made her announcement with a video featuring testimonials from Mainers about Collins's work ethic and support for her constituents.
