Jackson vs Collins: People Over PACs | Portland Maine News
Description
Troy Jackson’s underdog Senate campaign is launching a hundred-day fight against billionaire-backed incumbent Susan Collins, despite a yawning cash gap — Collins leads with over $11 million, while Jackson’s team has raised just over $1 million since entering the race. Jackson refuses corporate PACs and billionaires, instead rallying working-class voters around economic justice, Medicare for All, and Social Security protections. He’s betting this race is won not by money, but by Mainers in union halls and living rooms — a gamble that’s drawing national attention as Republicans pour $42 million into opposing him. Collins counters that Jackson’s agenda is too costly and too radical for Maine, but Jackson’s grassroots strategy could turn the tide in a pivotal Senate battleground.
