Maine Matters 2026

Read all of our coverage of Maine's 2026 election or stay up to date with the latest developments through the Maine Political Report in your inbox or text messages from politics editor Kirby Wilson.

Our race for U.S. Senate is much larger than Sen. Susan Collins and Troy Jackson. I urge undecided voters to consider the significance of a continued Republican majority:

  • Unprovoked war.
  • Allegiance to foreign leaders of communist regimes at the expense of democratic allies.
  • Unchecked spending on monuments rather than on American citizens.
  • More federally appointed judges and unqualified cabinet members.
  • Lack of trust in our elections and judicial systems.

It’s time to focus on governance rather than destruction.
