Troy Jackson fires back at Susan Collins over relationship comment

Published Updated



Maine Democratic Senate candidate Troy Jackson fired back at Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) on Saturday after she mentioned in an interview earlier this week that the mother of Jackson’s two children is his second cousin.

“Senator Collins is going to attack, I mean, she has been attacking my personal life, my children, stuff like that, because her record sucks,” Jackson said while speaking with voters at a campaign stop in Wells. “And I wouldn’t be trying to defend my record if I was her, too.”
