Maine Senate Race Heats Up | Hartford News

Troy Jackson, Maine’s new Democratic Senate candidate, is hitting the ground running—rallying union workers this Labor Day weekend with bold promises to raise the minimum wage and expand family medical leave, all aimed at flipping the seat from longtime GOP Senator Susan Collins. A former logger turned labor activist, Jackson’s working-class roots resonate with voters like Doug Born, who see him as a real champion for everyday workers. As Election Day nears, campaigns nationwide are in overdrive: Collins touts defense contracts and infrastructure, while Democrats in Georgia unite around AFL-CIO events to push back against economic inequality. With mail ballots already rolling out and Trump gearing up to energize GOP voters in battleground states, this race—and the broader fight for Senate control—is heating up fast.
