Maine Senate nominee Troy Jackson urged union members to vote at a Labor Day event as campaigns in competitive midterm races entered their final weeks. The article also surveys holiday campaign activities by candidates in several states.
Troy Jackson, the Democratic Senate nominee in Maine, called on union members at a Portland Labor Day event to support measures including raising the minimum wage and expanding family medical leave. The article says he is challenging Republican Sen. Susan Collins in a race Democrats view as important to winning Senate control. A union member quoted at the event said Jackson’s working-class background appealed to him.
The report also describes Labor Day campaigning in Alaska, Ohio, Wisconsin and Michigan, including events and statements by Senate and House candidates. It notes that a candidate for Ohio governor was the target of an attack at a fair, and describes other candidates’ planned appearances at parades and labor events.
