Troy Jackson is scrambling to defeat Maine Sen. Susan Collins. Time is not on his side – WTOP News
- On Sunday, Maine Democratic U.S. Senate nominee Troy Jackson rallied supporters in Bangor, criticizing incumbent Senator Susan Collins' voting record and her alignment with President Trump on key issues.
- Jackson became the Democratic nominee in July following the withdrawal of former Democratic nominee Graham Platner, facing a five-term incumbent Collins who maintains a significant fundraising advantage.
- Unlike Collins, who typically avoids public forums, Jackson hosts town halls to hear "directly from voters on the way their lives have been impacted" by the Trump administration's broken economy.

- Republicans have spent more than $80 million on advertising while Democrats spent less than $60 million, creating a funding gap that limits Jackson's resources as Election Day approaches.
