Former Maine Senate President Troy Jackson Set for Democratic U.S. Senate Nomination

Troy Jackson, a logger and former Maine Senate president, is poised to become the Democratic nominee for Maine's U.S. Senate seat after all major challengers withdrew and endorsed him. His campaign says a majority of 601 convention delegates have pledged support ahead of the July 25 nominating convention in Bangor. His likely opponent, Republican Senator Susan Collins, has held the seat for nearly three decades.
