The Spin


Troy Jackson is the real deal — a 5th-generation logger and former Maine Senate president who's spent decades fighting for working families, rural communities and affordable health care. Unlike Susan Collins, who votes with the far right when it counts most, Jackson brings authentic, tested leadership to this race. With roughly two-thirds of delegates already behind him, Democrats have found a stronger candidate than the one they lost.

Maine Democrats bypassed nearly all voters — only 17,279 party insiders got a say — to hand-pick a nominee accused of mortgage fraud and throwing a bottle at a woman. Jackson backs abolishing ICE, Medicare for All and packing the Supreme Court, making him a radical pick dressed up as a working-class hero. Susan Collins is the clear choice for Mainers who want honest, accountable representation.
