How Troy Jackson’s strategy against Susan Collins breaks from Graham Platner’s

Former Maine Senate President Troy Jackson is running a more conventional, kitchen-table campaign against U.S. Sen. Susan Collins than the incendiary, anti-”oligarchy” message that defined Graham Platner’s bid before he dropped out.
In another early ad, Jackson sits at an office desk in a Boston Red Sox hat, making a direct appeal for campaign help.
Collins’ campaign has been running positive ads touting her work securing federal money for Maine.
Democrats say those attacks were built for a race against Platner and won’t stick to Jackson with voters focused on affordability.
“The whole Collins campaign and Republicans had been gearing up to run against Platner,” said J.J. Balaban, a Democratic strategist and admaker.
