AGP Executive Report
Last update: 6 hours agoCampaign 2026: A Republican super PAC spent up to $25,000 airing an attack ad against Senate candidate Troy Jackson in Portland, Oregon, instead of Portland, Maine. The ad was later corrected. Jackson also campaigned with Sen. Bernie Sanders in Lewiston as he challenges Susan Collins. Energy Costs: Collins joined a bipartisan group of senators opposing President Trump’s plan to allow Russian diesel imports, arguing it conflicts with sanctions law. The move comes as high fuel costs weigh on Maine households; nearly $38 million in federal heating aid is being released early for the state. Public Safety: Maine State Police are investigating a fatal shooting in Indian Township, where a man has been charged with murder. A 20-year-old also drowned in Ellis Pond, and a fatal crash on the Turnpike in Gray is under investigation. Health Care: Central Maine Medical Center nurses voted to unionize. Maine hospitals are also suing over changes to a federal drug discount program. Lobster Industry: A federal appeals court ordered the dismissal of Maine lobstermen’s defamation lawsuit against the Monterey Bay Aquarium over its seafood sustainability rating.
