ASSOCIATED PRESS Republican Sen. Susan Collins of Maine was endorsed by Everytown for Gun Safety Action Fund in 2014. After backing Republican Sen. Susan Collins in 2014, the political arm of the major gun control advocacy group Everytown for Gun Safety announced on Tuesday that it’s endorsing one of her Democratic challengers in this year’s Maine Senate race. “There’s no reason that Washington can’t come together to put commonsense gun safety laws in place that keep our communities safe,” she said in a statement to HuffPost. Gideon’s rivals in the Democratic primary include former Maine gubernatorial candidate Betsy Sweet and attorney Bre Kidman. The Maine primary is now set for July 14 after it was rescheduled due to the coronavirus pandemic.
