Troy Jackson
Troy Jackson, Maine Senate President 2018–2024

He says he fights for Maine. We disagree.

Side by side

Troy says one thing.
The record shows the truth.

He says

“I have never been violent with my partner Lana, or any other woman.”

The record says

He kicked in a door and punched a man.

A 1988 Fort Kent police report. Jackson acknowledged it: “I took responsibility for it then, and I take responsibility for it now.”

Bangor Daily News · The Hill

He says

A hardworking outsider from the North Woods.

The record says

$160,000 in taxpayer-funded travel.

While his house sat two miles from the State House. An ethics complaint was filed. The commission declined to investigate.

The Maine Wire

He says

The champion of affordability.

The record says

He killed the senior tax freeze.

No income limits, no means testing — wiped out in the budget. Energy bills climbed anyway.

Press Herald · Maine Morning Star

He says

Passion. Just a guy who cares.

The record says

A colleague started recording meetings.

She said she recorded them because of his behavior — and that she was worried about it. Desk-pounding. Storming out. Swearing at colleagues.

CNN · Bangor Daily News · The Hill

He says

“I’m tired of good bills … getting vetoed. All thanks to the work of special interests, high-priced lobbyists and corporate greed.”

The record says

The high-priced lobbyist was his son.

Chace Jackson’s firm was paid $182,500 in 2024 — Jackson’s last year running the Maine Senate — lobbying that same Senate. Jackson also cosponsored a bill sending $13.4 million to one of his son’s clients. The campaign’s answer: the money went “to the firm, not to Chace directly.”

He says

A lifelong fighter for Maine’s working families.

The record says

He’d have run as anything.

In his own words, on tape: “I would’ve ran as anything, I would’ve ran as a communist. I just wanted to get to a place to do something.” Republican in 2000. Independent after that. Democrat now.

The company he keeps

01

The socialists endorsed him.

Maine DSA, in their own post: “We only endorsed Troy Jackson.” Not an opponent’s characterization — their statement, on their account.

Their account, their words Jul 7, 2026

02

Still campaigning with them in September.

A virtual rally alongside DSA member Angie Nixon of Florida and Rep. Greg Casar of Texas — two months after he told Maine he was a Democrat.

Reported September 15, 2026

03

Platner’s closest ally — until he fled.

Mutual endorsements. Joint campaigning. He stuck by Platner through every scandal, then scrubbed the posts as if they never existed.

Troy Jackson quoting Graham Platner: Jackson has been a voice for the working class. Thank you, brother.

The exchange on X

04

Keeps handing out endorsements on the far left.

He backed a Portland candidate and former DSA co-chair who praised Karl Marx and compared Jesus to early communists.
