Maine · U.S. Senate · 2026
Troy Jackson has spent his life in Maine's woods, workplaces, and State House — fighting for people who do the work and deserve a fair shot.
Maine Democrats will select their nominee through a statewide convention. The process is still underway; the final choice belongs to its delegates.
The Maine Democratic Party's state committee voted to hold a nominating convention to select a new U.S. Senate nominee, rather than have party leaders simply appoint one. This is the first time Maine Democrats have used a convention of this scale to replace a statewide nominee.
Party leadership — Chair Charlie Dingman, Vice Chair Imke Schessler, and Executive Director Devon Murphy-Anderson — has said it will release a full timeline, candidate requirements, and details on how the public can participate, promising "transparency is of the utmost importance" throughout the process. Maine law requires a replacement nominee to be certified by July 27, 2026.
