  • Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) demanded the removal of a radio ad targeting Troy Jackson.
  • The ad, a Senate Leadership Fund country-song jingle, labeled Jackson a “freak” and “creep.”
  • Collins said she had no role in the ad because law bars coordination with the super PAC.
  • Jackson’s partner Lana Pelletier condemned the ad and other attacks in an op-ed.
  • Democrats view Jackson’s potential win as pivotal for retaking the U.S. Senate.
