The Maine Democratic Party picked Jackson, a former logger and state senate president, at a Saturday convention to replace its former nominee Graham Platner, who had dropped out of the race after his ex-girlfriend accused him of rape. The same day, the Senate Leadership Fund (SLF) announced it is spending $42 million on the race against Jackson \u2014 including a six-figure ad buy \u2014 and launched a 30-second ad stating that the new nominee is \u201cworse\u201d than the scandal-ridden man he replaced on the ballot.

\u201cChuck Schumer forcefully removed Graham Platner from the ballot against the will of Maine voters, only to replace him with a deranged and scandal-plagued political insider,\u201d SLF Communications Director Chris Gustafson told the DCNF. \u201cMainers value steady leadership that yields real results for the Pine Tree State, making Susan Collins the clear choice once again this November.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cVolatile personality. Anger issues with women. Verbal abuse,\u201d states the voiceover of the SLF\u2019s new ad obtained by the DCNF. The ad cited and quoted both a July 20 report from CNN and a July 21 report from The Hill.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not Graham Platner, it\u2019s Troy Jackson. Jackson has a history of conflicts with women, bullying, even intimidation. Jackson\u2019s conduct was so bad his fellow Democrats raised alarm bells about his temperament,\u201d the ad\u2019s voiceover continues, citing other July reports. \u201cJackson is like Graham Platner but worse.\u201d<\/p>\n
