Senate Race Heats Up Over Taxes | Portland Maine News

The U.S. Senate race in Maine is turning into a fiery showdown, with candidates Troy Jackson and Susan Collins trading sharp blows over taxes, affordability, and past votes. Jackson accuses Collins of siding too often with Trump, while Collins hits back at his time as Senate President, highlighting his flip-flop on property tax relief for seniors. Jackson pushes for tax cuts for middle-class families and higher levies on the wealthy and corporations, citing rising rents and unfair tax burdens. Collins counters by claiming Democrats are raising taxes, pointing to her own record on capping deductions and expanding the child tax credit — but without concrete new plans. As November approaches, economic fairness and who’s truly listening to Mainers’ struggles will be the defining battleground.
