Collins Biddeford Office Vandalized With Profane Political Message

The act, coming five weeks before the Maine Senate election, has intensified tensions in an already close race.

Overview

  • State Sen. Matt Harrington posted a photo showing the glass doors of Sen. Susan Collins’s Biddeford constituent office spray-painted with a profane message that linked her to President Trump, a vandalism discovered on Sept. 28, 2026.
  • Katie Brown, Collins’s chief of staff, called the vandalism unacceptable, said the senator and her staff will not be intimidated, and confirmed the Biddeford office remains open to serve constituents.
  • Local outlets reported the paint was removed from the office doors after the vandalism was publicized.
  • Biddeford police confirmed they received a call about the incident but declined further comment, and officials have not publicly identified any suspect or released details about a formal police report.
  • The incident adds to campaign tensions as Collins seeks a sixth Senate term, drawing public condemnation from opponents and local leaders and raising questions about security at her constituent offices after earlier protests in the area.
