How Troy Jackson went from Maine logger to the Democratic nominee for Senate against Susan Collins

Troy Jackson, a former Maine logger, has emerged as the Democratic nominee for the U.S. Senate to challenge incumbent Senator Susan Collins.

Accounts of Jackson's background highlight a tense confrontation in the northern Maine woods of Allagash, where he stood with a group of loggers facing potential arrest by State Police. The lumberjacks had used their trucks to block access to the Quebec border in protest.
