WASHINGTON — Former logger and onetime Maine Senate President Troy Jackson is on course to replace accused rapist Graham Platner as the Democratic Senate nominee following a series of party caucuses over the weekend.
As results from the Pine Tree State’s 16 counties showed Jackson running away with the committed delegate count, would-be contenders Nirav Shah, former head of the state’s Center for Disease Control and Prevention; state Secretary of State Shenna Bellows; Maine Beer Co. founder Dan Kleban; and ex-congressional hopeful Jordan Wood dropped out one by one.
“Today, I am stepping aside, and I am doing it for exactly the same reason that led me to get in: we must defeat Susan Collins, and the Democratic Party must be unified to do it,” Shah declared Sunday evening.
Jackson’s nomination will be made official at a statewide convention Saturday in Bangor.
According to the Bangor Daily News, Jackson has secured at least 456 of the 500 delegates awarded following the county meetings. The convention will consist of approximately 600 delegates, giving the 58-year-old an overwhelming lead.
Even before the contest began, many viewed Jackson as the favorite to succeed Platner given his populist brand of politics.

Because Democracy is too important to be left in the hands of the voters.
He’s a lumberjack and he’s OK.
Beat me to it! LOL
They all praise a accused rapist..they ALL wanted Platner gone since they knew he could not beat collins so instead they replaced him with this bozo
bttt
He has handled a lot of logs in his life.
…he puts on women’s clothing, and hangs around in bars…
Dud this one already perform the fuking free fakestine ritual?
Probably has a lot of splinters in his mouth.
A logger, yeah, and Platner was an oyster catcher. DNC Media Shill boilerplate.
My guess is that he was logger just the same as Graham Platner was an oyster farmer.
And if any of you homos try to FReepsplain to me that there are no owls in Maine, I'll kill you.
What happened to that cute cross-eyed chick in the dress (who looked a LOT like a guy and had a man’s voice) who said she would “never deceive us”?
The Maine Democratic Senate race is looking more and more like tryouts for a reboot of The Village People.
this is the horrorshow that stopped Rep Laurel Libby from speaking in the House.
He is a horrorshow.
not anyone you would want representing you. Even most Dems know.
Selected not elected!
Selected not elected!
NO KINGS! NO KINGS!
WHAT?!! It’s NOT Ashley Webb?
