Troy Jackson memimpin perolehan suara awal dalam pemilihan Senat Maine

Kandidat progresif Troy Jackson mengamankan mayoritas delegasi yang kuat selama putaran pertama pertemuan tingkat daerah yang diadakan oleh Partai Demokrat Maine pada hari Sabtu. Proses ini bertujuan untuk memilih pengganti mantan calon Graham Platner dalam persaingan melawan Senator Partai Republik Susan Collins.

Jackson, seorang penebang kayu dan mantan presiden Senat negara bagian dari Allagash, mendominasi pemilihan di delapan daerah. Para pendukungnya berhasil meraih sebagian besar dari 319 posisi delegasi yang terisi hari itu, termasuk sapu bersih di Cumberland County, yang mencakup wilayah Portland.

Hasil ini menyusul upaya pengorganisasian intensif oleh sekutu serikat pekerja Jackson pada hari-hari setelah Platner mengundurkan diri dari pencalonan. Para pesaing termasuk Nirav Shah dan Shenna Bellows hanya memenangkan sejumlah kecil delegasi.

Jackson berpidato di depan para pendukungnya pada rapat umum hari Jumat di Portland dan kemudian berbicara kepada para wartawan di Augusta mengenai pentingnya kontes tersebut. Delegasi yang tersisa akan dipilih pada hari Minggu, dengan konvensi penuh dijadwalkan berlangsung akhir pekan depan.
