Summary
Maine Democrats have tapped Troy Jackson, former State Senate president, as their Senate nominee to challenge GOP incumbent Susan Collins. Jackson won the nomination with 566 votes at a recent convention after original frontrunner Graham Platner stepped down amid serious allegations. Though he narrowly missed the governor’s race, Jackson’s campaign has surged with $1 million raised and top-tier fundraising rankings. Republicans are already attacking, calling the nomination process rigged and labeling Jackson an “Augusta insider” who’ll push costly policies — while also questioning his viability after his third-place finish in the gubernatorial race. The stage is set for a fiery showdown as Jackson, backed by party elites, prepares to take on Collins. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
