Maine Senate Candidate Troy Jackson's Second Cousin Relationship

  • Maine Democratic Senate nominee Troy Jackson and his longtime partner Lana Pelletier are second cousins who share two children, though they never legally married and Maine recognizes no common-law marriage.
  • Jackson secured the Democratic nomination on July 25, replacing Graham Platner who exited amid sexual assault allegations, and will face Republican Sen. Susan Collins in November.
  • Jackson has faced scrutiny over financial disclosures and residency claims, including questions about reporting requirements since he is not legally married to Pelletier.
  • Jackson's campaign describes Pelletier as his partner; he has not publicly addressed the reported familial relationship despite its potential impact on Senate financial disclosure requirements.
