Midterm elections head into the home stretch as candidates attend Labor Day events

As the midterm elections enter their final stretch, candidates across several states with competitive House and Senate races are campaigning at traditional Labor Day events, including festivals, union halls, and parades. This year's election season has already been characterized as combative, busy, and expensive.

In Maine, Democratic U.S. Senate nominee Troy Jackson returned to a union hall on Monday to address a packed crowd. Jackson, a longtime labor activist and logger, emphasized the importance of workers turning out to the polls in the upcoming fall election.
