I am proud that today Elias Law Group filed a brief in the U.S. Supreme Court on behalf of the DSCC and 37 Democratic Senators opposing the Trump administration's misuse of government data as a part of their voter suppression scheme.

A citizen-led campaign is working to put universal healthcare before Maine voters next year, with volunteers collecting signatures for a 2027 ballot measure that would require lawmakers to develop a publicly funded healthcare system covering all residents.

Donald Trump is the worst conman in the world. But he gained support among my working class neighbors because they were pissed off at a rigged system that was stealing their time and livelihoods. For that, I can’t blame them. This campaign is about making their lives better, too. #mepolitics

We can't afford to wait for DC to get its act together. Families are in crisis - universal healthcare is a must. Troy can deliver and protect the families of Maine. He has the guts, the experience, and the knowledge to run a state. For all of us.

If politicians are worthy of government-sponsored healthcare, everybody is. When I'm Governor, we're not waiting for DC to get its act together. We will pass universal healthcare ourselves. #mepolitics

“Troy has proven to us for years now that he is ready to fight for Mainers and their ability to thrive. Now it’s time to elect him to the Blaine House and give Maine back to the working class.” Thank you, Phoebe. I am so honored to earn your first ever vote! #mepolitics

pressherald.comMy first vote ever will be for Troy Jackson | OpinionAs a high school senior ready to hit the voting booth for the first time, I believe he is the best choice to represent all Mainers as our next governor.

WOOT! Graham announces he ranked Troy Jackson first! The next 2 years will be perilous for women, children, workers, for LGBTQ rights, to preserve affordable healthcare for all our neighbors. We need to be prepared to fight in DC AND in Augusta. DM me to canvas for Troy this weekend in Belfast!

Machias ➡️ Portland. I made a promise to see voters in both places on the same day, and I don't make promises lightly. I can't afford a private jet, but thankfully, my good friend Pat McGowan helped me get the job done. #mepolitics

A Republican-aligned political group has spent millions of dollars on ads promoting Susan Collins, but a closer look at these ads shows they rely on misleading — and in some cases impossible — claims about her record on health care.

Alex Jones yesterday, April 22nd of 2026, is once again saying the Sandy Hook massacre was a false flag done by "professional shooters." It is imperative we take over that studio as soon as possible.

Maine has such an engaged population when it comes to resisting (one of the most engaged in America), that middle school students are staging walkouts in protest. #ORGANIZE #RESIST #OPPOSE #NonViolenceIsPower #EveryEffortCounts #GetInvolved #MEpolitics

Now that we’re embroiled in war with Iran, it’s time we check in on this again. Name one thing Trump has done that was not beneficial to Putin.

In digging for events every morning for my calendars, I've been really impressed with the number of teen groups planning and implementing educational events, rallies, and candidate forums. This alone helps instill hope and faith in Maine and America's future. #MEpolitics #MaineYouth #Organize

Susan Collins once said she would only serve for two terms...she is thinking now that she'll retire after her sixth term. Let's send her into retirement before she gets a sixth term...Vote Collins Out Now! Signed, Concerned Maine Constituent

Three long-time friends and I today, all the same reaction, shit,yes, of course, they fire the women. Same as it ever was. And then we all were, like, wait.

#nokings We need to talk about how rural areas where it's a 60 min drive to any big box store do May Day. We can't advocate to boycott the small businesses run by our neighbors. May Day far from urban and suburban areas will develop our way to do May Day.

“…in a nonviolent struggle, our most powerful weapon is an army of like-minded people with a spark in their hearts born of the same sacred fire. Our enemies are powerful, and they may be able to blow out a single flame, but they cannot blow out a wildfire.” Doug Good Feather See you on March 28th!

Troy Jackson has the heart to pay attention to what matters to families, and the experience to deliver it. Well thought-out plans, not slogans. Do you know a Maine family who struggle to afford childcare? Of course you do.

Troy Jackson@troyjackson207.bsky.social

Childcare costs in Maine are insane. They’re forcing Mainers' kids and grandkids out of the state. Even worse, they’re holding working folks back from starting families at all. Enough excuses. Enough compromises. Enough half-measures. It's time to solve this problem at the source.
