Tampa St. Petersburg, FL, July 25, 2026 —

Troy Jackson has secured the Democratic nomination for the U.S. Senate in Maine, positioning him to challenge Republican incumbent Susan Collins in a pivotal election that could influence the balance of power in the Senate.

Jackson’s candidacy follows the withdrawal of Graham Platner from the race. Platner stepped down after facing a sexual assault allegation. The process for selecting the Democratic nominee involved the participation of over 600 delegates.

The upcoming contest between Jackson and Collins is anticipated to be a closely watched race. The outcome could have significant implications for the composition of the U.S. Senate.
