“The reasons women make reproductive health decisions are deeply personal. Financial circumstances. Genetic diagnoses. Health risks. Timing. Relationships. And sometimes, circumstances no woman should ever have had to experience in the first place. None of those decisions are easy and no politician, federal agency or ideology should have the final word. That word belongs to women, their families and their doctors.
Maine has always understood this. Dr. Shah is committed to keeping it that way, both in principle and in practice, with the funding, the policy and the medicine to back it up.
Because the difference between safe and unsafe shouldn’t come down to which state you live in, which administration holds power or whether care is available when you need it most.”

There is no question where I stand on reproductive rights and women’s health.
As Illinois’ public health director, I fought to expand access to birth control and make it available over the counter. In this race, I am the only candidate who has released a comprehensive plan to safeguard reproductive freedom in Maine, and I am proud to have earned a 100% rating on Planned Parenthood Maine Action Fund’s questionnaire.
As Governor, I will never waver. I will protect women’s rights, defend reproductive freedom, and ensure that deeply personal health care decisions stay where they belong: between patients and their providers.
Troy Jackson is bankrolled by an Illinois millionaire - his own disclosures confirm it. On abortion: he backed a 24-hour waiting period bill, mandated pre-procedure doctor disclosures, self-identified as anti-abortion in 2012 and was still wrestling with it in 2022.
Troy Jackson is funded by Illinois millionaire Will Connell *according to his own finance disclosures*.
Taking money from millionaires is not uncommon for politicians. However, pretending to not use millionaire money, as Jackson has done, is misleading at best.
Transparency?
It’s a big day for sustainability! Today, we officially become a publicly-traded company. This milestone allows us to push even further #BeyondPlastic, transforming household products into a force for good.
Because sustainability is the only future, and what we do now matters.
