| Info | Susan Margaret Collins
Born December 7, 1952, Senator Collins was raised in Caribou, a small city in northern Maine, of which both of her parents have at one time served as mayor. The Collins name is well known in Caribou. Her family founded not only the community, but also the oldest continually operating lumber business in the state. The fifth generation of the Collins family is now involved in the family business.
A 1975 magna cum laude graduate of St. Lawrence University in Canton, New York, where she was elected to Phi Beta Kappa, Senator Collins worked for former Maine Senator William S. Cohen for 12 years. In 1987, she joined the cabinet of Maine Governor John R. McKernan as Commissioner of Professional and Financial Regulation, a position she held for five years. She then served as New England Administrator of the U.S. Small Business Administration from 1992 to 1993.
In 1993, Senator Collins ran her first campaign for public office and became the first woman in Maine history to receive a major party nomination for governor after winning an eight-way Republican primary in June of 1994. Though she was not victorious in the general election, she did not lose sight of pursuing public service.
In December of 1994, Senator Collins became the founding executive director of the Center for Family Business at Husson College in Bangor, Maine, a position she held until she resigned in 1996 to run for the Senate seat being vacated by Senator Cohen. She won both a contested Republican primary and a four-way general election later that year.
