A Maine woman claims a videographer told her she would be appearing in an ad for Sen. Susan Collins... She was shocked when the ad came out, and it was for Troy Jackson. "If they're willing to mislead me, how far will they go."

Bath built is best built. I was proud to greet the men and women of BIW’s second shift today, who do their work with dedication and skill. 
That’s why I worked hard to secure the Pentagon's support for a second destroyer this year to be built at BIW, protecting these jobs well into the future.

Exclusive | Troy Jackson officiated his wedding, but this Mainer is making a startling claim...

A man whose wedding Maine Senate hopeful Troy Jackson officiated during the pandemic is now throwing his weight behind incumbent Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) in a scathing new ad.

News: Former Sen. Joe Manchin will campaign with GOP Sen. Susan Collins this week in Maine Manchin said his visit is motivated by the attacks on Collins for voting too often in support of President Donald Trump: He said his trip is dedicated to “debunking” the idea that she’s been an enabler for Trump:“She is not a Trump senator" Expect a lot of talk about their bipartisan work together on covid $, infrastructure and Electoral Count Act Collins: "We need more people in the Senate, not fewer, who are willing to put partisanship aside, listen to one another, and deliver results" semafor.com/article/10/19/20…

Sen. Susan Collins blasts Troy Jackson over his “shut up” remark, saying his response was “very telling” given his reputation for how he treats women who disagree with him: “I was struck by how reflexive the response, ‘Oh, shut up,’ was. But then I thought about the reputation that Troy Jackson has in Augusta, particularly when he’s dealing with women with whom he disagrees. So, in some ways, it didn’t surprise me. And the fact that it seemed like such an automatic, quick reply was very telling.”

That’s a wrap on four debates! We ended on a high note - surrounded by strong women who lift up, not shut up. So grateful to Team Collins for their incredible hard work, enthusiasm, and support. Now, on to VICTORY! 💪🇺🇸

After a protestor interrupted the Senate debate, Susan Collins claimed it was "obviously one of Troy's supporters" and Troy Jackson told her to "shut up." For more on the debates: newscentermaine.com/article/…

Troy Jackson said he’d detail campaign funding Wednesday morning. He didn’t.
