Troy Jackson

Jackson's campaign says he would fight to pass Medicare for All and lower prescription-drug costs. A campaign-linked statement further specifies support for allowing Medicare to negotiate drug prices for everyone and capping out-of-pocket prescription costs.

Jackson says working-class people are being harmed by a “rigged system” and lists taxing billionaires and requiring corporations to pay their fair share, along with delivering tax cuts for the working class, among his Senate priorities. His campaign also identifies lowering prescription-drug costs as a priority with economic implications for household expenses.

Jackson's campaign says he supports passing a federal right to abortion. His campaign's Senate priorities page lists that position as a priority.

Jackson has publicly supported expanding renewable energy, particularly northern Maine wind power and transmission, and has said as a senator he could seek federal funding to advance those projects. He also supports woody biomass/biofuel development and has advocated environmental protections including limits on aerial glyphosate spraying; his approach emphasizes pairing clean-energy development with affordability and working-class input. These positions reflect statements and record from his 2026 Senate campaign and prior Maine legislative service, rather than a detailed federal climate platform on his campaign priorities page.

Jackson's campaign says he would dismantle and abolish U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The campaign's priorities page does not provide further detail on how immigration enforcement or other immigration policy should be handled.

Jackson's campaign says he will protect the right to vote and organize for every American and pass comprehensive civil-rights legislation protecting LGBTQ+ people from discrimination. His campaign priorities also call for a federal right to abortion, which it presents as part of its Senate agenda.

Jackson's campaign says he would work to end what it calls the genocide in Gaza and would support no U.S. tax dollars going to Israel's military. Searches did not identify a newer public foreign-policy statement after August 7, 2026; this position is documented on his campaign priorities page.

Jackson says he supports responsible gun ownership and Maine’s sporting traditions while also supporting gun-safety measures, arguing that gun rights carry responsibilities. The Maine Gun Safety Coalition says he evolved on gun safety after the Lewiston shooting, led his caucus in passing universal background checks and a 72-hour waiting-period law, and vocally supported Question 2; the coalition lists him as a 2026 U.S. Senate gun-safety champion based on his questionnaire, voting record, and public statements.

Jackson has publicly supported a restrictive, worker- and consumer-protection approach to artificial intelligence. His “Agency over AI” proposal called for preventing corporations from using AI as a justification for mass layoffs, limiting routine AI use in classrooms and homework, protecting Mainers’ data from harvesting and sale, regulating data centers for effects on electricity costs and water supplies, and requiring transparency when government uses AI; his current Senate priorities page does not list a separate Tech & AI plank.

Jackson's campaign says he will protect the right to vote and organize for every American and supports overturning Citizens United to remove dark money from politics. The campaign page does not provide additional specifics on election-administration policies such as voter ID, mail voting, or ranked-choice voting.

Jackson has a strong record of supporting public education, earning a 100% rating from the Maine Education Association for his support of education issues during the 126th Legislature. As Senate Majority Leader he supported increased public school funding and opposed school voucher programs, lifting the cap on charter schools, and a state takeover of failing schools. He also supported healthy school meals for all students and reducing student debt.

Jackson's campaign says he would prioritize working families and strengthen rural communities across Maine, emphasizing that no Mainer should be left behind because of where they live. His campaign identifies housing, child care, utility bills, health-care and prescription-drug costs, and the need for young people to be able to build a life in Maine as local concerns; its platform also calls for Medicare for All, lower prescription-drug costs, working-class tax relief, and taxing billionaires and corporations.
