Troy Jackson, US Senate Candidate from Maine, Appeared on MSNOW Cable News on August 22, 2026. Curentlyl, Troy has a Slim Lead Over MAGA Member Susan C ollins.
Today, Reproductive Freedom for All announced its endorsement of fifth-generation logger, former Maine Senate President and Democratic nominee for US Senate Troy Jackson at the launch of the Women for Troy Coalition. Women for Troy is aimed at uplifting the voices of Maine women.’
“When Roe was overturned, I didn’t wring my hands or make excuses — I got to work,” said Jackson. “I helped pass some of the strongest protections for abortion access in the country because I believe these decisions belong to women, their families and their doctors — not politicans: Susan Collins voted to put Brett Kavanaugh on the Supreme Court and he helped overturn Roe. She can defend that vote all she wants. I’m runing for Senate to restore and expand the federal right to abortion and make damm sure politicans never again get to take this freedom away from Mainers.”
“There is no better state to watch for how reproductive freedom will define the midterms than Maine. Susan Collins’ vote to confirm Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court spelled the end of Roe v. Wade and voters haven’t forgotten that betrayal,” said Reproductive Freedom for All President and CEO Mini Timmaraju. “Troy Jackson has become a relenting chamption for reproductive freedom and spent the last decade expanding abortion access in Maine. He’s the fighter Mainers deserve and I’m proud to join today’s launch in a race that could decide the Senate majority.”
“Troy has a strong record of lowering costs, protecting health care, defending reproductive freedeom and standing up for workers – all things that help everyday people get ahead in life. The choice in this election couldn’t be more clear – Troy takes action. Susan Collins says she’s concerned, but stays on the sidelines when it matters,” said Cynthia Phinney, President of the Maine AFL-CIO. “That’s what tonight is all about – Troy has shown up for us again and again and we are showing up for him.”
Jackson introduced landmark legislation in 2023 expanding abortion protecdtions in Maine and has earned a 100% rating from Planned Parenthood’s Maine chapter. His record stands in sharp contrast to Collins, who voted to confirm Kavanaugh and has said she does not regret that vote even after he joined the Supreme Court majority that overturned Roe v. Wade.
Reproductive Freedom for All’s endorsement comes as Jackson launches Women for Troy, a coalition of Mainers organizing to elect a senator who will protect abortion rights, defend access to reproductive health care and stand up to politicans trying to take those freedoms away.
With control of the US Senate — and the future of reproductive freedom – on the line, Maine voters wlll have a clear choice this November. Susan Collins helped put the votes on the Supreme Court that overturned Roe. Troy Jackson will fight to restore the rights they took away.
TROY JACKSON is a fifth-generation logger from Allagash and the former President of the Maine Senate. A lifelong advocate for labor and working famiies, Jackson has spent his career fighting for a fairer, more affordable Maine. As Senate President, he helped pass universal school meals, historic child care investments, a 12-week paid family and medical leave program and some of the strongest abortion protections in the country. He is running for the US Senate to ensure that the voices of everyday Mainers are heard in Washington.
