Susan Collins heaps praise on testing company that gave her nearly $20,000

The Republican senator from Maine has accepted a total of $19,500 in campaign contributions from Abbott Laboratories, which is now engaged in developing testing systems for the coronavirus.
Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) is using election advertising and social media to praise a multinational corporation that has contributed nearly $20,000 to her campaigns over the past two decades.
Collins has touted Abbott Laboratories' work in two Facebook posts and one campaign ad over the past month, singling out the company for its work in creating a rapid diagnostic test to detect the novel coronavirus.
Abbott is not the only company making coronavirus tests. Others include Roche Diagnostics, Biomerica Inc., and Chembio Diagnostics Inc.
Abbott gave the maximum $5,000 contribution for an election cycle through its political action committee to Collins' 2020 reelection campaign, according to data from the Center for Responsive Politics.
