GOP Rep Says Troy Jackson May Not Qualify for Maine Senate Nomination

Maine state Rep. James White, a Republican from Guilford, said Friday that Troy Jackson may not be legally eligible to use a party vacancy process to become the Democratic replacement nominee for U.S. Senate after losing a different statewide race in June. White argued that Jackson cannot use the vacancy process to reach the ballot following his prior statewide election loss. Jackson, a former gubernatorial candidate, would be seeking the Democratic nomination for the seat.
