Jackson in Maine

I do not know the specifics of his platform in detail, but the selection of Troy Jackson as the new Democratic Party nominee for US Senate appears to be a continuation of the Platner narrative.

I'm not sure how this all will shake out. 

Maine Democrats chose Troy Jackson, a progressive former state legislator, to replace Graham Platner as their Senate candidate at a convention on Saturday that followed weeks of internal turmoil in a key battleground state.

Mr. Jackson’s victory, a vote of 566 to 5, came on the first ballot of a pop-up state convention the Maine Democratic Party organized in the 17 days since Mr. Platner, who faced a rape accusation he denies, dropped out of the race.

………

Mr. Jackson, 58, carries much of the progressive politics that powered the movement that lifted Mr. Platner from political obscurity. A former logger who entered politics in the late 1990s organizing against Canadian workers crossing the border to work for lower wages than Americans, Mr. Jackson now faces perhaps the biggest challenge of his political career.

He is up against Ms. Collins, a moderate Republican seeking a sixth term in office. The race, seen as a central battleground in the fight for control of the Senate, features two longtime politicians who grew up in the same county in northern Maine.

Trust the New York Times to bury the lede, because in the very last paragraph, after extensive coverage of Collins talking points, they note this: 

………

Mr. Jackson said in that interview that he would not support Senator Chuck Schumer of New York, the minority leader, to remain in his post. Mr. Jackson also expressed reservations about receiving financial or other assistance from Mr. Schumer, whose allies oversee the super PAC devoted to electing Senate Democrats.

Running against Chuck Schumer is a winner.  

If he beats Collins, I hope that he sticks to this promise.

From a purely pragmatic perspective, disrupting things in the Senate would make Jackson's tenure in the Senate much more difficult.
