TBH, while I like #ShennaBellows and #NiravShah, I think they better serve #Maine in their current and former positions (Bellows, Secretary of State; Shah, head of the Maine CDC). @BrambleBearGrrrauwling

He's got my vote! Wow!
"#TroyJackson said, if elected governor, he would introduce a bill to establish #TribalSovereignty on his first day in office. He also spoke of the need to safeguard #ReproductiveRights and invest in #GreenEnergy jobs.
"Jackson was elected Senate President in 2018. He served six years in the position and reached his term limit in 2024.
"Jackson's political career in Maine began in 2002 when he won a seat in the Maine House as an independent. He joined the Democratic Party in 2004. Four years later, Jackson ran for and won a seat in the Maine Senate.
"University of Maine political scientist Mark Brewer describes Jackson as an 'old school, New Deal, mid 20th century labor Democrat.'
"Brewer added that Jackson is a serious contender in the race and that his labor-centered platform could prove popular with voters, including those in rural areas.
" 'It's not unreasonable to think that in a multi-candidate field, a candidate like Jackson could build a winning campaign on strong support in Maine's rural areas for sure.'
"Jackson has received a handful of notable endorsements.
"Sen. Bernie Sanders, D-Vermont, described Jackson as a 'different' kind of Democrat who has spent his career standing up to corporate power and fighting for ordinary people.
" 'We need candidates who, unequivocally, will stand with working class families against the enormous power of the monied interests,' Sanders said in a news release distributed May 21 by Jackson's campaign team. "
