## Resource

Maine Democrats are rallying behind Senate President Troy Jackson as he surges toward the Senate seat nomination after a dramatic shake-up that ousted previous frontrunner Graham Platner. With early delegate votes showing overwhelming support for Jackson’s slate — dubbed the “Troy delegate slate” — he’s poised to win the party’s July 25 convention in Bangor, where all 601 members will cast their final votes by July 27. Secretary of State Shenna Bellows has stepped aside to promote unity, while grassroots groups like Our Revolution credit disciplined organizing and strategic recruitment for the momentum. This isn’t just a race — it’s a battle for the future of Maine’s Democratic Party, and Jackson’s path looks clear.
