End Citizens United Endorses Troy Jackson for U.S. Senate in Maine

End Citizens United (ECU), a leading national anti-corruption organization, today endorsed Troy Jackson for U.S. Senate in Maine. Jackson is part of ECU’s Unrig Washington program, where he is committing to reject corporate PAC money, support a ban on congressional stock trading, and work to get dark money out of elections.

“Troy Jackson knows what it’s like to work hard, play by the rules, and still have the deck stacked against you,” said End Citizens United President Tiffany Muller. “Mainers are sick of watching Senator Collins give billionaires and big corporations whatever they want while working people get stuck with higher costs and fewer economic opportunities. Troy is running to change that. He’s a proven leader who will root out corruption and put working families at the center of every decision he makes. We’re proud to endorse Troy’s people-powered campaign, and we look forward to helping him kick Susan Collins out of office.”

“I’m proud to have End Citizens United’s support in this race,” said Troy Jackson. “I’ve spent my career trying to make government work for working people - not billionaires and corporations that try to buy elections. In the U.S. Senate, that’s exactly what I’ll keep fighting for. Susan Collins can keep looking out for billionaires and special interests. I’ll stand with working people every damn time.”

Troy Jackson served for 20 years in the Maine State Legislature, including six years as Senate President, fighting every day to lower costs and create opportunity for working families across the state. His Senate platform focuses on ending the outsized influence of billionaires and corporations in politics. He has joined over 280 Democratic congressional candidates on ECU’s Unrig Washington program by committing to reject corporate PAC money, support a ban on congressional stock trading, and work to get dark money out of elections.

In April, ECU named Senator Susan Collins to its 2026 Most Corrupt Politicians List, and she received a failing F grade on ECU’s Anti-Corruption Scorecard this year. Over her career, she has taken a stunning total of $8.5 million in corporate PAC money — the most of any politician in Maine history. She owns one of the most lucrative stock portfolios in Congress while working to block a full ban on congressional stock trading, opposes a constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United, and opposes commonsense reforms to increase donor transparency. She has also used her position to deliver tax loopholes for private equity firms after being their top recipient of campaign donations for her 2020 campaign.
