Troy Jackson Is Scrambling to Defeat Maine Sen. Susan Collins. Time Is Not on His Side – WTOP News
Jackson is trying to close a fundraising and name-recognition gap after becoming the nominee with just over 100 days left, his campaign said.
- On Monday, Democratic U.S. Senate nominee Troy Jackson rallied about 250 supporters in Bangor, intensifying his campaign ahead of the first televised debate Tuesday against incumbent Senator Susan Collins.
- Jackson faces an uphill battle to unseat the five-term incumbent after securing the nomination in July following the emergency withdrawal of predecessor Graham Platner from the race.
- Distancing himself from conventional campaigning, Jackson hosts town hall-style forums to hear "directly from voters," an approach supporters like Michael Ross, 64, of Westbrook praise as "direct and genuine."
- While Collins raised more than $18 million, Jackson trails with $7 million, prompting him to attack her voting record for aligning with President Trump 96% of the time.
- To close the gap, Jackson seeks to consolidate support from Platner's former base, with Vermont independent Senator Bernie Sanders joining him this weekend for three get-out-the-vote rallies.
