Logger and former president of the Maine senate Troy Jackson has announced he's entering the race for the U.S. Senate, just moments after Democratic nominee Graham Platner suspended his campaign amid allegations he has denied.

Jackson says he's "all in" and vows to take on Sen. Susan Collins, calling himself a fighter for Maine's working families.

Troy Jackson. U.S. Senate. The most genuine, hardest-fighting person I’ve ever worked with in politics just entered the biggest race in the country. Buckle up.

There is a powerful movement of working class people in the state of Maine, and millions more across America who are ready to send a progressive fighter to the Senate. I’ve been fighting for that movement my whole life — and I’m sure as hell not backing down now, when this fight is needed most.

I’m in. And we're going to defeat Susan Collins. Maine deserves a Senator that will fight for working families.

[Troy Jackson @TroyJackson207]

Susan Collins turned her back on Mainers a long time ago. Together, we can defeat her.

“Troy Jackson is a name we should be getting used to, because he’s now the odds-on favorite to be the nominee…Democrats know that in order to win this race they’re going to need the support of progressives." - @Redistrict

In the coming days, Maine Democrats will decide who carries the fight to Susan Collins.
There's one person who's spent his whole career winning tough fights in hard districts: a fifth-generation logger from Allagash.

Here's what the polling keeps showing: when Mainers get to know Troy Jackson, they like him.

The energy in this state was never about one candidate. It just needs a standard-bearer worthy of it. https://t.co/6DK2Z4C5yN

There is no place in our politics for sexual violence. Not in our party, not in any party. Graham Platner must withdraw from this race today.

This is not what we stand for. Not as Democrats, not as Mainers, not as human beings. For too long, women who survive sexual violence have been told to stay quiet, to protect the men who hurt them, to think about the campaign, the party, the cause. We cannot ask women to trust us with their futures while looking the other way when one of our own hurts them. That ends here.

I believe Jenny Racicot.

What has Susan Collins done for us other than make our lives harder?

Don't just complain about Susan Collins to a friend. Tell the world.

There's a new Maine-based anti-Susan Collins group called Very Concerned PAC.

[Very Concerned PAC @VConcernedPAC]

It’s time to tell the truth about Susan Collins record ⬇️

That’s why we are launching Very Concerned PAC. We are the ONLY Maine-based organization with the sole mission of defeating Susan Collins. We have a track record of flipping Senate seats and winning statewide in Maine.

[Troy Jackson @TroyJackson207]

Okay.

I started Maine Beer Company with the simple motto “Do What’s Right.” Now, I’m running for Senate to bring that same promise to Washington— to fight for living wages, affordable health care, and bring down costs. I hope you’ll join me in this fight.
