BREAKING: RALLY STRONG! Democrat Troy Jackson emerges as the replacement nomiee for Graham Platner in the Maine Senate race — and he's Susan Collins' worst nightmare!
We need EVERYONE to get on board and start supporting him...
According to Politico, Jackson has "effectively secured" the Democratic nomination because he has now won support from the majority of the state delegates who will formally nominate a candidate next weekend. Roughly 2/3 of the 601 delegates have committed to him.
After Platner suspended his campaign in disgrace following a series of scandals and sexual abuse allegations, Republicans jubilantly assumed that Democrats wouldn't be able to find a strong replacement.
Boy, were they wrong.
Jackson is a much better candidate than Platner ever was. He's a bona fide progressive star — meaning that he can harness the grassroots left-wing momentum that Platner cultivated and then betrayed — and he's also a 5th-generation logger from Allagash, Maine so he understands the state's needs and voters better than anyone. He also previously served in the Maine Senate as its president as well as its majority leader.
“Whether you supported me from the beginning, or are still deciding, or support another candidate, there is a place for you in this movement,” Jackson said at a rally earlier today. “Because we’re not going to defeat Susan Collins by making this movement smaller. There’s no way that that’s ever going to work.”
The general election is just 107 days out, so Jackson will need our vocal support and donations to make up for lost ground. Defeating Susan Collins is absolutely paramount to saving our democracy from MAGA fascism. While she pretends to be a moderate to court voters, in practice she's a far-right radical who supports Donald Trump's agenda every time it matters most. Her vote to confirm credibly accused sexual predator Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court alone is disqualifying.
“I was a big supporter of the previous candidate, Graham Platner. I really liked his policies. Troy mirrors a lot of those,” said delegate alternate Travis Jones. “The previous campaign really energized me, and here I am today.”

We still need your help fighting the Tate brothers, who sued a group of us for releasing their case documents, exposing their contradictions, and having opinions.
We won round one. Now they’ve appealed and refiled.

There's nothing wrong with Markwayne Mullin being a former plumber. It's an important hardworking job.
The problem is that Mullin, a former Congressman and now Secretary of Homeland Security, should have an understanding of the law.
Any plumber who threatens to seize voting machines in the United States of America, or tries to interfere in state run elections, will end up in prison.
And so will Markwayne Mullin.
Trump wants to destroy endangered species' habitats in WA and decimate their populations along with it.
Endangered species of salmon and other PNW animals are the heartbeat of our native cultures and coastal economies.
I will do everything I can to stop this dangerous rule.
