Labadii haween ee kaliya ee ka tirsan Aqalka Senate-ka Mareykanka waqtigaas waxay ahaayeen Jamhuuriyiin, Collins waxay ahayd haweeneyda kaliya ee guddoomiyaha gobol kasta. Wax yar ka dib doorashadeeda, waxay ka soo muuqatay barnaamijka Good Morning America, halkaas oo wax laga weydiiyay xiisaheeda ku aaddan madaxweyne ku xigeenka waxayna siisay jawaab aan ballanqaad lahayn. Afar maalmood kadib markii loo caleemo saaray gudoomiyaha gobolka, waxaa loo doortay inay bixiso jawaabta Dimuqraadiga ee khudbadda raadiyaha ee toddobaadlaha ah ee Madaxweyne Ronald Reagan. Shir jaraa'id oo ay qabatay ka dib khudbadeeda, Collins ayaa mar kale la weydiiyay haddii ay diyaar u tahay in loo tixgeliyo musharraxa madaxweyne ku xigeenka Dimuqraadiga doorashada soo socota; waxay ku jawaabtay "Maya, hadda ma ahan". Bartamihii 1984, Guddiga Qaranka ee Dimuqraadiga ayaa doortay Collins inuu guddoomiyo Shirweynihii Qaranka ee Dimuqraadiga ee San Francisco. Ballanqaadkani wuxuu ka hor istaagay Collins inuu hoggaamiyo wafdiga gobolka ee shirweynaha, sida caadiga u ah guddoomiyeyaasha gobollada. Xisbigu wuxuu magacaabay wiilkii Collins, Steve inuu noqdo guddoomiyaha gobolka. Shirweynaha ka hor, Walter Mondale, musharaxa madaxweynaha ee la filayo, wuxuu wareystay Collins inuu yahay musharax madaxweyne ku xigeen ka hor inta uusan u dooran Geraldine Ferraro inuu noqdo saaxiibkiis. Qoraa ka tirsan wargeyska The Miami Herald ayaa markii dambe ku dooday, isagoo ku salaynaya wareysiyada uu la yeeshay la taliyayaasha Mondale, in Collins uusan waligiis si dhab ah u tixgelin Mondale. Wuxuu sheegay in lagu soo daray liistada ay ku jiraan kuwa la tartami kara ee ugu horreeya si loo yareeyo eedeymaha suurtagalka ah ee "calaamadeynta" ee tixgelinta haweenka kale iyo dadka laga tirada badan yahay.  Suaal: Muxuu ahaa magaca Senatorka oo sidoo kale ahaa Governor?
