Politics Maine Dems pick Troy Jackson to replace Graham Platner and take on Susan Collins in high stakes Senate race By Victor Nava Published July 25, 2026, 11:41 a.m. Add The New York Post on Google Maine Democrats officially tapped former logger and one-time state Senate President Troy Jackson on Saturday to replace accused rapist Graham Platner as the party nominee in the high-stakes race against incumbent Republican Sen. The special nominating convention in Bangor served as a coronation for Jackson, who essentially locked up the nomination earlier this week after the vast majority of Maine’s 601 delegates pledged to support the 58-year-old – resulting in all but one of his opponents to drop out of the race.
