Campaign finance dominates Maine Senate contest between Jackson, Collins
Democrat Troy Jackson is challenging Republican Sen. Susan Collins in a pivotal Maine Senate race that has been dominated by campaign finance issues. Jackson is campaigning as a Bernie Sanders-style political disrupter and, unlike Collins, is rejecting corporate PAC money. He was chosen as the Maine Democratic Party's US Senate nominee at its nominating convention in Bangor in July. Writing on social media that month, Jackson said Collins was in the pockets of billionaires and corporate PACs.
