Susan Collins has been a fixture in Washington for decades. Could a political outsider finally oust her? - The Boston Globe

The Republican senator from Maine has put down challenges from a variety of Democrats over the years. These three nonpoliticians hope to break the cycle.

"Rench, who is largely self-funding his campaign, says he’s focused for now on finding the right policies. “The election is going to be about who has the best economic plan for the state of Maine,” he said. “And if it’s not better than the current standard, then you’re gonna have a sixth-term Susan Collins.”
