Jackson Locks In Maine Senate Nomination | Concord News
Description
Maine Democrats are rallying behind Troy Jackson as their frontrunner to challenge Senator Susan Collins, after original nominee Graham Platner stepped down amid serious allegations. With overwhelming delegate support secured from county meetings, Jackson is poised to win the Senate nomination at Saturday’s convention — a move that’s prompted rivals like Shenna Bellows and Nirav Shah to step aside and unite the party. Though a few lesser-known candidates remain on the ballot, including David Costello and Saundra Pelletier, even beer magnate Dan Kleban is backing Jackson and seeking to withdraw. Delegates will vote Saturday — and while not obligated, all signs point to Jackson’s victory as Democrats gear up for a tough fight against Collins.
