Radical Maine Democrat Senate Nominee Wants the State to Seize Private Property from Mainers: “The State Should Be Able to Come In and Take These Places Over”

 Far-left Maine U.S. Senate nominee Troy Jackson just told a crowd of mobile-home park residents that the government should be able to take private property when he doesn’t like who owns it.

At a Labor Day weekend campaign stop Saturday at Blueberry Ridge Mobile Village in Wells, Jackson said the state should step in and take over parks owned by out-of-state companies and private equity firms.

“I feel strongly that, if needed, the state should be able to come in, to take these places over,” Jackson told residents gathered in a backyard, according to the Portland Press Herald.

He added that the state should hold the sites until residents can take them over “so you don’t see these private equity (firms) coming in and making a killing on these parks.”

Video of Jackson’s remarks was circulated by RNC Research.

The Gateway Pundit has already reported who Democrats installed after Graham Platner imploded.

Jackson is the progressive logger and former Maine Senate president who supports abolishing ICE, Medicare for All, and ending arms sales to Israel. Party insiders coronated him after Platner’s sexual-assault allegations ended that campaign. Mainers never nominated Jackson in a statewide Senate primary.

TGP also reported that Jackson’s longtime partner is his second cousin and the mother of his two adult sons. His campaign called coverage of the family relationship “shameful and desperate.” It did not deny the facts.

Additional reporting covered a 1988 police report in which a 19-year-old Jackson kicked in a door, grabbed a man by the throat, and punched him over the same woman, plus later allegations of a slap and the well-known “water bottle incident” with a female colleague in the State House. Jackson has denied violence against women while acknowledging the old fight.

There is also the Augusta house. Jackson allegedly used an FHA loan that required the property to be his principal residence, then continued listing Allagash as his home for legislative purposes while collecting substantial taxpayer-funded travel reimbursements. He later sold the Augusta house at a profit. Ethics officials declined to pursue the residency complaints. The questions never fully went away.

Now the same politician wants the state to “come in and take these places over.”
