Graham Platner is out. Troy Jackson should replace him | Dustin Guastella
Graham Platner's exit from Maine's US Senate race creates an opening for Troy Jackson, a fifth-generation logger and former state legislator from Fort Kent. Jackson's background as a union member and his leadership in a 1998 logging blockade align with the need for a candidate representing working-class, inland, and rural Mainers.
