Maine US Senate candidate Troy Jackson
Maine’s far-left Democratic U.S. Senate nominee Troy Jackson is facing explosive new allegations of domestic violence just weeks after Democrats scrambled to install him as their candidate against Republican Sen. Susan Collins.
Kim McBreairty, an Allagash man who has known Jackson for decades, told The Maine Wire he personally witnessed the progressive logger open-hand slap his longtime partner, Lana Pelletier, outside a pub in neighboring St. Francis years ago.
Kim McBreairty said he was approaching the entrance one evening when he saw Jackson standing with Pelletier. “He just open-hand slapped her beside the head,” McBreairty recounted.
The force of the blow, he said, caused her head to tilt and her hair to fly. She turned and walked toward their vehicle. Jackson followed. Neither entered the pub.
McBreairty emphasized it was an open hand: “Just whacked her.” The Maine Wire noted it has not independently corroborated the account.
The allegation lands as Jackson already faces scrutiny over a 1988 Fort Kent police report obtained by the Bangor Daily News.
At age 19, Jackson kicked in a door at a home around 2 a.m., grabbed a man by the throat, and punched him in the face hard enough to cut him with his glasses, over Pelletier, described in the report as his then-ex-girlfriend.
Jackson told the man to “stay away from Lana Pelletier or else.” The misdemeanor assault was resolved with a $50 fine. Jackson does not dispute punching the man.
The same police report states that Pelletier told the responding officer Jackson had “pushed her around” after the assault and that she planned to seek “cease harassment papers.”
No record shows she followed through. Both Jackson and Pelletier now deny any violence toward her. Pelletier says she has no memory of making the statement and that it is “not accurate.” Jackson insisted: “I have never been violent with my partner Lana, or any other woman.”
Pelletier is Jackson’s longtime partner of roughly 40 years, the mother of his two adult children, and, according to reporting, his second cousin. They are second cousins.
Jackson was rushed into the Democratic nomination in late July after Graham Platner’s campaign collapsed under sexual assault allegations from an ex-girlfriend. Democrats needed a replacement who could still excite the party’s left flank.
Jackson fits the bill: he supports Medicare for All, has called for abolishing ICE, backs ending U.S. military support for Israel, and has drawn support from the Democratic Socialists of America orbit and figures like Bernie Sanders allies.
This is the same Troy Jackson who once threw a water bottle during a heated 2021 argument with a female state senator (witnesses said it did not strike her).
Now, new claims of striking his partner surface just as he tries to introduce himself to voters statewide in one of the most consequential Senate races of 2026.

The Party of Nazis and Domestic Abuse sees nothing wrong with this.
Hey, Lana Pelletier? Pack your bags and GTFO before you get killed!
Why anyone puts up with ANY kind of abuse from someone who supposedly ‘loves you’ is beyond me.
Just cousins doing a little skylarkin’. Followed by make up..... Nah, I don’t even want to go there. Just keep it in the family..........😵
Why do they say “Medicare for all?”
What they really mean is Medicare for illegal aliens. This point needs to be made clear; so just say it.
Maybe he will deny it. Then the public debate begins.
Pssssst. From 1988. 😊👍🇺🇸
Is the Democrat Socialist faction totally unable to find ANY potential candidates for elective office that possess even the least vestiges of civilized behavior? Or are they just keyed into finding the most psychotic and misfit examples of humanity that can be located within the United States?
Maybe this is a feature and not just a bug in their selection process.
The new party of “don’t believe the women”. It sounds like she is now saying she lied to police about the incident.
This is what the far left thinks is a masculine male. Idiots.
progressive logger?
I don’t get the “Medicare for all” either.
Don’t they mean Medicaid?
Medicare, at least for me, is expensive. Costs twice as much as when working (recently retired).
And if you don’t have employer-based health insurance, aren’t you covered by Medicaid already?
“...progressive logger?...”
Jackson is as full of shit as a Christmas goose..
Like the rest of em: a lying sack of shit and useless as teats on a feral boar hog...
Libtard Maine boomer women will love him even more.
I'm a man and it's beyond me as well.
He’s angling for the Muslim vote.
EC
He slapped a woman? His partner?
He looks like a fag. I expected he slapped his rump ranger partner.
**Why do they say “Medicare for all?”
What they really mean is Medicare for illegal aliens.**
It’s the slippery slope concept. Medicare gets expanded through waste, fraud, and abuse. It’s leftist neglect once and not paying attention-the media’s job and they blow it off.
Next the abuse element. Can you see it taking place in domestic relationships where the MSM tries to cover it up in people they support?
Beats me why Lana stayed with him 40 years.
Can they get the Maine nazi back?
If his numbers go down they’ll ‘care’, force him to resign and the elites who run the party will pick a new person who meets the electable cookie cutter fashion statement: a blue collar white man... who wants us ‘all to get along’...
