Collins Calls for Removal of Radio Ad Attacking Troy Jackson
Maine Republican Sen. Susan Collins has called for the removal of a radio advertisement that attacked Democratic opponent Troy Jackson with offensive claims.
Wilkes Barre Scranton Hazleton, PA, October 21, 2026 —
Maine Republican Sen. Susan Collins has called for the removal of a radio advertisement that attacked her Democratic opponent, Troy Jackson, with claims described in the available summary as offensive.
The information provided does not identify who produced or paid for the advertisement, which radio stations aired it, or when it was broadcast. It also does not specify what the ad claimed, explain why Collins sought its removal, or say whether any station or other party acted on her request.
Collins’s call for removal is the only response described. The summary does not provide a statement from Jackson or information about whether his campaign addressed the advertisement. It also does not say whether the ad remains on the air or whether its distribution has changed.
Those missing details leave the scope and circumstances of the dispute unclear. Without the advertisement’s wording or further information about its source and circulation, the claims themselves cannot be assessed from the summary. The account establishes that Collins objected to the ad and sought its removal, but it does not establish that the request was accepted or that the advertisement was taken down.
No additional details about the campaigns, the radio broadcasters, or any formal complaint were provided. Accordingly, the available information does not clarify what steps, if any, followed Collins’s request.
