Collins Requests Removal of Radio Ad Attacking Jackson
Maine Republican Senator Susan Collins has requested the removal of a radio advertisement that attacked Democratic opponent Troy Jackson with offensive language and allegations.
Albany Schenectady Troy, NY, October 22, 2026 —
Maine Republican Sen. Susan Collins has requested the removal of a radio advertisement that attacks her Democratic opponent, Troy Jackson, using offensive language and allegations, according to the information provided.
The request does not establish whether the advertisement has been taken off the air. No details were provided about who produced or sponsored it, which station or stations aired it, or when the request was made. The specific language and allegations in the advertisement were also not included.
It is therefore unclear what Collins cited as the basis for seeking the ad’s removal, whether she or her campaign contacted a broadcaster or another party, and whether any recipient responded. No statement from Jackson or the advertisement’s sponsor was provided.
The available information describes Collins as having requested that the advertisement be removed; it does not say that the request was granted or that the ad stopped airing. It also does not provide independent information about the allegations made in the spot, so their accuracy cannot be assessed from the details available.
Further details—including the advertisement’s wording, its source, the timing of Collins’ request and any subsequent action—were not provided. Without those details, the circumstances surrounding the dispute remain unclear.
