Portland Auburn, ME, October 20, 2026 —
A Republican political action committee, the Senate Leadership Fund, has released an attack ad targeting Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Troy Jackson. Susan Collins’ campaign has called for the ad to be taken down immediately, arguing that its focus on Jackson’s personal relationships is irrelevant and amounts to a personal attack.
The summary of the dispute does not identify the specific relationships discussed in the ad or provide its wording. It also does not state when the ad was released, where it has appeared, or whether it has been removed. The campaign’s call for its removal is the only response described in the information available.
The summary does not include a statement from Jackson or his campaign, nor does it provide a response from the Senate Leadership Fund to the criticism. It does not specify who within Collins’ campaign made the request or whether Collins herself commented on the ad.
The disagreement centers on the ad’s subject matter: Collins’ campaign says the focus on Jackson’s personal relationships is not relevant. Without details about the ad’s claims or the relationships it references, those claims cannot be described further here. The information provided also does not establish whether the ad has prompted any formal complaint or other action.
Further details about the ad’s content, distribution and status were not provided. It remains unclear from the available information whether the Senate Leadership Fund will respond to the request or whether the ad will be taken down.
