Republican Senator Susan Collins tells NewsCenter Maine she has “an extremely common condition that is called a benign essential tremor. I have had it for the entire time that I have served in the United States Senate. It has absolutely no impact on my ability to do my job or on how I feel each day,” which sucks and isn’t the best thing to come out during a particularly tough election year.
“If you talk to anybody in Washington, they will tell you that I am the hardest working person that they have ever worked with, and the fact is I’ve never missed a single vote in all the time that I’ve been honored to represent the people of Maine. I think that’s pretty good evidence of the fact that I am blessed with great health,” Collins continued with all the reasons for non-concern.
