Maine Democrats Choose Troy Jackson | San Francisco News

Maine Democrats have chosen Troy Jackson as their Senate nominee after Graham Platner stepped down amid allegations. A former lawmaker and logger from northern Maine, Jackson secured broad delegate support over the weekend and is poised to face Republican Senator Susan Collins in the general election just 100 days away. Jackson, who’s run as a Republican and independent before joining the Democrats, credits his victory to grassroots volunteers and is ready to tackle Collins’ financial edge. His progressive platform—backing Medicare for All and ending ICE—could draw GOP attacks, but his deep roots in Maine politics and working-class background may appeal to voters. With the race heating up, Jackson must now ramp up fundraising fast. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
