Opinion | Joy Engel: Maine is a moderate state. Susan Collins is not a moderate senator. - NBCNewsTHINK
Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, speaks to reporters after Republicans released their long-awaited bill to scuttle much of President Barack Obama's Affordable Care Act, at the Capitol in Washington on June 22, 2017.Joy Engel, writer and strategist
Geographically, Maine may have more than 35,000 square miles of land but, emotionally, we’re just one big small town. I saw Stephen King at the doctor’s office once. I saw Anna Kendrick at brunch. If Kevin Bacon was from Maine, his game would only have two degrees. Recently, I ran into Senator Susan Collins at an airport.
There’s a bit of celebrity that comes with being one of the most powerful members of the U.S. Senate; When people see Sen. Collins, they do a double take, they start whispering to each other and they even whip out their phones and ask for photos. She’s a point of pride for many Mainers because, in a state where headlines about, Susan Collins is kind of a big deal.
This isn’t the first time I’ve run into the senator but, in previous flights , I’d never approached her. I believed she deserved a bit of peace when out in public, and figured that nobody really wants to talk to a stranger on a plane. I was worried, in fact, I’d make her feel uncomfortable.
