A note for my Republican opponents proposing more tax cuts for the rich: If "trickle down economics" were going to work, they would have worked by now. #mepolitics

Fact check: True. #TaxTheRich

We couldn’t do better than Troy Jackson as Maine governor | Letter "A vote is not a Valentine, it’s a chess move."

"At the time of the last presidential election, I saw a post on Facebook that said, 'A vote is not a Valentine, it’s a chess move.' For me, a vote for Troy Jackson is both."

Thank you, Kathy, for your support. Together, we're going to make Maine work for the working class again. #mepolitics

I’ll admit it. I’m tired of having a government that cares more about cutting taxes for the rich than it does about funding the programs working Mainers need to survive. #mepolitics

We need to talk about Troy Jackson More. He is running for Maine Governor and has done A LOT of work for our state in the Maine Senate.

Here are some of his latest tax proposals.

Millionaires like Jonathan Bush don't like my plan to raise their taxes so we can fund childcare, nursing homes, and trade schools for everyday Mainers. Unfortunately for Mr. Bush, I don't give a damn.

When you talk about taxing the rich, they always insist they’ll take their wealth out of town.

Mayor Mamdani’s pied-à-terre tax on empty luxury homes flips that narrative on its head.

When I’m governor, we’re passing the very same policy in Maine. The billionaires’ free ride is over.

It isn’t trickle “down” economics. It’s trickle “on” economics. The rich are pissing on us and laughing all the way to the bank. #mepolitics

As Governor of Maine, I will pass the strongest labor laws in this country.

Not only that, but I’ll do what our previous governors haven’t: I’ll damn well enforce them. #mepolitics

Multimillionaire Jonathan Bush (who I forgot was running) doesn’t like my plan to raise his taxes so we can pay for childcare, nursing homes, and trade schools for working class Mainers. Unfortunately for Mr. Bush, I don’t care.

I'm sickened by the news about the Amazon worker who died on the job in Oregon. His coworkers were forced to walk over his body while they continued working.

To oligarchs like Jeff Bezos, profits matter more than working class lives. That’s the type of greed we have to fight back against together.

Today I introduced my plan to:

✅ Double the millionaires tax
✅ Deliver property tax relief
✅ End LePage’s tax cuts for the rich
✅ Improve education, healthcare, and infrastructure
✅ Refund the working class

I am told the wealthy elite aren’t going to like it. Unfortunately for them, I don’t care.

Time is something we don’t get enough of in Maine. Too many folks are juggling multiple jobs just to survive. I know that life, and I can tell you it’s not living. People deserve better.

New inflation numbers just came out, and they’re clear as day. Trump is screwing us with his foolish, illegal war in Iran. Food, fuel, and energy prices are through the roof. Mainers deserve better than this.

I won four straight elections in a heavily pro-Trump district. A lot of fancy consultants would tell you it takes some magic formula to do that, but it doesn’t. If you focus on real economic issues that affect working class people, working class people will support you.

Maine’s progressive champion? He’s been here all along. | Opinion Troy Jackson’s politics are the politics of solidarity. He'll make a great governor.

"In Maine’s race for governor, we already have our Graham, our Zohran, our Bernie...[He’s] been here his whole life — fighting for justice up in the North Maine Woods and down at the State House. He’s a logger and union leader from Allagash, and his name is Troy Jackson."

Aroostook County drug court will launch this summer The court will offer alternatives to prison for people struggling with addiction who commit drug-related crimes.

For too long, Aroostook was the only county in Maine without a drug treatment court.

Recovery behind bars, a cruel & ineffective “treatment” method, was the only option for folks here.

This summer, thanks to a bill I proposed back in 2023, that finally changes. I’m grateful.

The only way for working people to build our future is to build it for ourselves. That's what this campaign is about.

We're not from the left or the right. We're from the bottom. And we're rising.

In November, we're taking back the Blaine House.

Thank you, Bernie Sanders.

Abortion is healthcare. Reproductive care is healthcare. And healthcare is a human right. I spent my years in Augusta fighting to protect it.

As Governor, I'll support amending our Constitution to guarantee reproductive freedom – including abortion access – to all Mainers.

Troy Jackson, running to be Maine's next governor, on what's radical or not in regards to childcare.

Reposting with #MEpolitics so more folks see it.

Funding “daycare” isn’t radical. Defunding it to pay for foolish wars and tax breaks for the rich is what’s radical.

That’s why I’ve proposed a plan for free, universal childcare for all working Maine families.

This one's personal. In 2023, as Senate President, I passed a bill to secure emergency LIHEAP funds for working families and seniors. This program saved lives.

Trump couldn’t last five minutes in an Aroostook County winter, but he has no problem leaving Mainers out in the cold.

Troy Jackson is the clear choice for Maine’s next governor | Letter In a political climate filled with noise, he is a man of action who is one of us.

Folks can read Jeffrey's full letter here:

“[Troy] has championed binding arbitration and critical rural emergency funding because he knows a state is only as safe as those we count on to run toward danger.”

Thank you, Jeffrey! We count on first responders every day, and first responders know they can count on a Troy Jackson administration.

There you have it. Endless money for endless wars, but not a cent for everyday people.

The working class needs to move on from this guy. Clearly, he’s moved on from us.

Only 11 arrested during ICE’s Maine surge had criminal records The dataset undercuts the federal government’s claim that agents targeted the “worst of the worst” criminals during a five-day sweep.

“Operation Catch of the Day” was a sham backed up by lies and race-baiting.

ICE said it was targeting “the worst of the worst.” Turns out, over 80% of detainees identified in a new report don’t have a criminal history.

Trump must be made to answer before Congress for this assault on our neighbors.

Donald Trump and the Epstein class are scared of us. They’re desperate to make us turn on each other, turn on immigrants, turn on our friends and family members.

We won’t fall for it. We outnumber those scumbags, and we’re taking our country back. #NoKings

Paying my Trump Tax at the pump. If it were up to this guy and Bobby Charles, we’d be defunding all our public services so Maine taxpayers could afford what really matters in life: fatter bonuses for Big Oil lobbyists in DC.

Across Maine, and across this country, the people have a message for Trump and the oligarchs: there are more of us than there are of you. And we’re rising.

We’re from the bottom, and we’re rising. Trump and his oligarch friends know this. And they’re scared as shit. #NoKings 🇺🇸
