Today, the Jackson for Maine campaign released a new TV ad highlighting how Troy Jackson’s working-class upbringing shaped his fight for working people across Maine.

“Troy was born to two teenage parents and we struggled a lot,” says McBreairty in the ad.  “He didn’t use that as an excuse.  He used that as fuel to make things better for other people.  Troy never talks about what he’s done.  But somebody will come up to me in the grocery store or someplace in town and they’ll say, ‘Troy helped me get a sewer.  Troy helped me get my mother into a nursing home.’ If you need help, he’s gonna be there for you.  That is who he is.

I’m Troy Jackson, this is my mom and I approve this message.”
