Troy Jackson: Eight years ago today, Maine women begged Susan Collins not to confirm Brett Kavanaugh. She did it anyway. He helped overturn Roe v. Wade. And today, she says she has no regrets. Would you trust her to pick the next Supreme Court justice?

Troy Jackson: Brett Kavanaugh was against abortion when Susan Collins met with him. She knew that was going to happen, and now after it's been overturned, she doesn't regret the vote. Everybody else in Maine and across this country regrets her vote.

Proud to earn the Alliance for Retired Americans’ endorsement! Their 4.4 million members—including 243,834 in Illinois—share my commitment to protecting and strengthening Medicare and Social Security. I’ll always fight to expand these programs, not put them on the chopping block like my opponent.

I hope everyone had a great Labor Day. Our leaders should prioritize the needs of the workers who make our district & nation run. I’m proud to be the candidate in #IL16 that actually fights for working people, is from the working class, and is supported by organized labor.
