Maine Democrats Select New Senate Nominee To Challenge Republican Incumbent Susan Collins

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

49% : On the question of abortion, Jackson's position represents an evolution from more conservative stances he held earlier in his public life, a shift that some supporters have addressed directly.
45% : Jackson, a fifth-generation logger from northern Maine, is running on an economic populist platform that closely mirrors Platner's approach, championing Medicare for All, higher taxes on the ultra-wealthy and large corporations, and rejecting what he describes as the Democratic establishment.
41% : He is also calling for the abolishment of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, an end to U.S. military aid to Israel, federal civil rights protections for LGBTQ Americans, and federalizing abortion rights.
