Hi there,
Last weekend, the Maine Democratic Party held its nominating convention, and delegates officially selected the party’s new nominee for U.S. Senate.
Troy Jackson will now face Republican incumbent Susan Collins this November.
Collins has voted with Donald Trump 95% of the time, helping to advance policies that have cost people their rights, threatened their health care, increased the cost of living, and in some cases cost lives. After years of voting with Republican leadership on many of the Senate's biggest fights, her standing with Maine voters has weakened.
Meanwhile, Jackson is a former labor organizer and majority leader in the State Senate who has years of experience fighting for working people.
With just 4 seats needed to win back the Senate, the winner of this race could easily determine control of the chamber through 2032—and with it, the ability of a future Democratic president to govern, of democratic institutions to recover and thrive, and of a nation to move beyond the devastating policies of MAGA extremism.
Maine remains one of Democrats’ best opportunities to flip a Republican-held Senate seat and one of our Must-Flip seats to win back the Senate this November.
But with just 96 days left until Election Day, it’s going to be an all-out sprint to help Jackson build a strong grassroots campaign that can defeat Collins and flip this seat blue.
That’s why we’re asking you to make a donation directly to Jackson’s campaign today.
We launched the Maine Senate Nominee Fund with the goal of raising $500,000 over the course of this election cycle, and we need your help to reach that goal and ensure Jackson has the resources to win despite his late entry into the race.
We’ll be in touch with more updates soon. But for now, thank you, as always, for everything you do.
