A progressive fighter who never forgot where he came from

Troy Jackson knows that the rules are rigged for the powerful. Long before he ever set foot in the State House, Troy was putting in 80-hour weeks in the woods, trying to make ends meet without health insurance. When corporations tried to undercut Maine workers, he fought back. And in Augusta, he’s kept fighting to lower costs, take on special interests, and stand up to Donald Trump. That’s why he is the only candidate supported by Senator Bernie Sanders and labor unions.

Meet Troy Jackson

Troy Jackson is a progressive fighter from Allagash who makes no apologies for spending his life standing up to big corporations and Republicans on behalf of working Mainers.

Long before he ever set foot in the State House, Troy was putting in 80-hour weeks in the woods, running equipment, driving trucks, and chopping wood just to make ends meet. He had no health insurance for a dangerous job and he struggled to provide for his family.

He knows what it means when the rules are rigged for the powerful and working people get squeezed. When corporations started replacing Maine loggers with cheap foreign labor, Troy did not just complain about it. Troy helped lead the 1998 logging blockade at the Canadian border that forced the state to pay attention.

That fight shaped everything that came after. For more than 20 years in Augusta, Troy has taken on powerful interests and delivered real results for working-class Mainers. As Senate President, he fought to lower prescription drug costs, pass universal school meals, deliver property tax relief, protect rural health care, defend our environment, and make sure Maine workers get fair wages, decent benefits, and a voice on the job.

Now Troy is running for Governor to do what he has always done: take on corporations and special interests, lower costs, and make sure working families and seniors—not the wealthy—finally get a break. That is why he has earned the endorsements of Bernie Sanders and more than 40 labor unions across Maine.

Troy still lives in Allagash with his partner, Lana. They have two adult sons and remain deeply rooted in their community.
