Jackson, a gruff former logger who has now catapulted into position as the state\u2019s likely Democratic nominee for US Senate, grew so angry with one female lawmaker that he hurled a plastic water bottle.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            That\u2019s where the stories diverge.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            The female legislator told colleagues that the incident deeply frightened her because she felt Jackson was aiming to hit her with the bottle, according to five sources who learned of the incident shortly after it occurred. That legislator was distraught as she left the meeting that day; months later she decided not to run for reelection in part, she told colleagues, because of Jackson\u2019s conduct, three sources said.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Jackson\u2019s campaign acknowledged to CNN on Monday that he had thrown the water bottle during the meeting but disputed he had lobbed it in anyone\u2019s direction.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cTroy Jackson is passionate and deeply invested in the people and policies he advocates for,\u201d the campaign said in a statement. \u201cOver 22 years in public office, there have been moments when he let his frustration get the better of him. When that happened, he took responsibility and apologized directly at the time. \u201c\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            The statement said that an eyewitness recalled \u201cthe bottle was thrown away from everyone and struck no one.\u201d The campaign said it was referring to Mark Lawrence, a state senator in the room for the confrontation, who told CNN that he saw the bottle being thrown away from others in the room.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Either way, the incident has raised vigorous debates within Maine\u2019s Democratic establishment still reeling from its previous nominee for Senate, Graham Platner, dropping out after a former girlfriend accused him of rape and other former partners accused him of physical intimidation and other alarming behavior, allegations he has denied.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Jackson has not been accused of any physical abuse or criminal wrongdoing, and even his critics are quick to separate his conduct in the Maine statehouse from the allegations against Platner. All five people who described the thrown water bottle were Democrats involved in local politics who requested anonymity for fear of retribution.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            In a later Democratic caucus meeting, Jackson did address the water bottle incident and apologized, though it was not enough for some of the female lawmaker\u2019s allies, according to two people in the room.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            The water bottle clash, which was first reported by the Washington Post, was not a one-off for a lawmaker also known for pounding on desks, storming out of rooms, getting into shouting matches with members of his own party and swearing at colleagues, sources told CNN \u2013 with one ex-colleague resorting to recording meetings out of concerns over his behavior. Critics say his brash conduct, particularly with female colleagues, raises alarm bells about his temperament as the nominee for a key Senate race.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cIt felt like he was using his body and his voice to make people fearful,\u201d said the former colleague who described recording meetings with him. \u201cI was in a room multiple times where he escalated the situation with both the intent and natural ability to really intimidate using his physical presence.\u201d (She said she did not ultimately keep the recordings because Jackson did not exhibit any concerning behavior in those meetings.)\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Jackson\u2019s team said in its statement that he was involved in \u201cheated, often two-way disputes over consequential legislation among powerful elected leaders.\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cThere were many more instances of Troy working alongside those same colleagues to deliver universal school meals, paid family and medical leave, and prescription-drug relief for Maine families,\u201d the campaign said. \u201cTroy regrets the moments when disagreements became too heated, but passion for the issues he advocates for should not be confused with physical intimidation or bullying.\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            His campaign also disputed that his confrontations were ever aimed specifically at female colleagues, arguing that many of Jackson\u2019s fellow top Democrats were women, and so it was not surprising that some of his more contentious conversations involved them.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Heather Sanborn, the former Democratic lawmaker who told colleagues at the time that Jackson had targeted her with the water bottle in that private meeting, declined comment to CNN.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Many other prominent Democrats who spoke on the record with CNN argued that Jackson\u2019s political style is just what their party needs to take on President Donald Trump and finally defeat GOP Sen. Susan Collins in the November race.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Former state Rep. Janice Cooper acknowledged to CNN that Jackson is \u201crough around the edges\u201d but said: \u201cThis moment calls for a rabble-rouser.\u201d\n    <\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/?p=6669\">US military slow to disclose Iran war injuries with officials citing security needs<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n            Jennifer DeChant, another former state House Democrat who overlapped with Jackson, told CNN that his direct approach helped get things done. \u201cIf everyone is happy with you all the time, you\u2019re not doing your job in politics\u2026 He doesn\u2019t run things like he\u2019s coddling in kindergarten.\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<h2>\n        \u2018Not every problem requires a chainsaw\u2019\n<\/h2>\n<p>\n            During Jackson\u2019s leadership in Augusta, multiple Democrats described a widespread feeling inside the party that no one was willing to push back against him and risk blowback from him or his team of loyalists.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            One Maine Democrat who worked closely with Jackson told CNN she had confronted him about his behavior multiple times \u2013 including after the thrown water bottle. But it did not prompt a change, she said.\n    <\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-medium_large\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Troy Jackson speaks on May 1, 2026 in Portland, Maine, at an event for Platner.\" class=\"wp-image-5242\" height=\"512\" src=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/f25dc7a705e45c4f483d8165b29aa59b.jpg\" width=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/f25dc7a705e45c4f483d8165b29aa59b.jpg 768w, https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/f25dc7a705e45c4f483d8165b29aa59b-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<span>Troy Jackson speaks on May 1, 2026 in Portland, Maine, at an event for Platner.<\/span>\n<\/div>\n<figcaption>Graeme Sloan\/Getty Images<\/figcaption>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n            \u201cHe doesn\u2019t always understand that not every problem requires a chainsaw or an ax to get it out of the way,\u201d that person told CNN, who described Jackson as a \u201ccomplex\u201d person. \u201cI certainly saw him verbally abusing male colleagues.\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            She described what she witnessed as \u201cbullying\u201d \u2013 \u201csort of pushing his weight around.\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Multiple local and state politicians said they were reluctant to go on the record, citing what they said was Jackson\u2019s volatile personality.\n    <\/p>\n<h2>\n        Jackson\u2019s future\n<\/h2>\n<p>\n            The dozens of Democrats interviewed for this story made clear to CNN that they did not consider Jackson\u2019s behavior to be on the same level as their former nominee\u2019s alleged rape of a woman in 2021.
