Jackson Surges to Senate Nomination | Bangor News

Troy Jackson is on the verge of clinching the Democratic U.S. Senate nomination in Maine, just 11 delegates away after dominating recent county caucuses — a surge fueled by the sudden exit of frontrunner Graham Platner, who had named Jackson his top pick. With rivals Nirav Shah, Shenna Bellows, and Jordan Wood struggling to match his delegate haul, Jackson’s campaign pulled off a swift, strategic win in key counties like Cumberland and Penobscot. Though the delegate process was chaotic and some rivals scrambled to fill spots, Jackson’s team had their slate locked in. The final decision rests with the state convention next Saturday in Bangor, where 601 delegates will officially choose the nominee — and Jackson’s momentum, bolstered by Platner’s shadow, looks unstoppable.
