Maine Democrat Troy Jackson rejects special interests but ran PAC that courted them

Democrat Troy Jackson is campaigning for Senate in Maine as a Bernie Sanders-style political disrupter who — unlike Sen. Susan Collins (R) — is rejecting corporate PAC money.

“We will defeat Susan Collins, and we’ll reclaim our Senate seat from the billionaires and corporate PACs who have her in their pockets,” Jackson wrote on social media in July. “Let’s get to work.”
