Maine Needs Senator Susan Collins
“Let’s get to work to defeat Susan Collins and create the Maine that working people deserve,”
— Troy Jackson, a fifth-generation logger from the remote northern tip of Maine and a one-time Pro-life, conservative Republican who became a Democrat over two decades ago —
——————————————————————————————————————————
So … here is the question for Troy Jackson and every other Democrat in the State of Maine
You have had an iron-fisted control of Maine’s government for the last eight years, and control of the Maine legislature for 48 of the last 50 years
In all of that time, you have NEVER created a Maine where the working class people can thrive
Troy was Senate president for many of those years
So why should we believe you now?
Face the truth
- The Democrats have wrecked Maine’s economy, driven up our overall tax burden to number two in the nation
- Made the property tax burden, highest tax burden in the country
- Wrecked the public education system, causing us to drop to 46th in the nation
- Overseen the worst infrastructure in the country, according to CNBC
- And led an economy that had 0.0% growth in the fourth quarter of 2025, according to the Federal Reserve, with Governor Mills’ own handpicked commission projecting job growth for 2027, 2028 and 2029 to be zero
You can look up and verify everything I’ve just said and you’ll find I’m telling the truth
Let me tell one other truth
If not for Susan Margaret Collins as our United States Senator during that time
The State of Maine would have drown
She brought $1.5 billion into the state from the federal government, a life preserver for Maine’s economy, and it’s people because of the destructive policies of Maine Democrats
During Covid, when Governor Janet Mills and the Maine legislature shut down the state’s economy
Senator Collins drafted the payroll protection plan, and shepherded it through the Congress to the president’s desk for his signature
Because Governor Mills and the Maine legislature shut down the economy, Maine lost 22% of its small businesses
Without the effort of Maine Senator Susan Collins, we may have never recovered from Covid and the destructive ideas of Governor Mills and the Maine legislature, in part led by Troy Jackson, as Senate President
Senator Susan Collins has done nothing that should cause any Maine citizen to vote against her
- She has done her job
- She always shows up for work
- She FOLLOWS the Constitution
- She does her homework and can explain to you in explicit detail why she votes the way she does, something that only a small percentage of all elected people, from dog catcher to President, in this country can do
The change Maine needs is not in the United States Senate
In Susan Collins, we have the hardest working, and most effective senator in the country
The change Maine needs is in the Maine legislature, filling it with people like Kenny Cianchette, who have successfully run a business, built from scratch, knows how to treat people in the workplace, and would promote policies that lead to a strong Maine economy
You want to fix what ails Maine
Change the Maine House and the Maine Senate, from rigid ideologues who have no idea how to run anything, to people like Kenny Cianchette, who built businesses from scratch, employee people with good paying jobs who are well treated, and who will eliminate the shackles on Maine’s economy, driven by poor Democratic policy
Maine senior Senator Susan Collins is a treasurer for this state
And if it were not for her, places like BIW may no longer exist
