Clarksburg Weston, WV, October 21, 2026 —
Republican Sen. Susan Collins has called for the removal of a radio advertisement attacking her Democratic opponent, Troy Jackson, in Maine. The ad makes what the available summary describes as offensive and personal accusations.
The summary does not identify who produced or paid for the advertisement, which station or stations aired it, or when it began running. It also does not provide the ad’s exact wording or explain what steps, if any, were taken in response to Collins’ call.
Collins’ request is the only action described in the information provided. No statement from Jackson, the ad’s sponsor, or a radio station is included, and no further details about the accusations are available. The summary also does not specify whether Collins called for the ad to be removed from one broadcast outlet or more broadly.
Without those details, the circumstances surrounding the advertisement and the response to Collins’ request remain unclear. The information provided establishes that she called for its removal, but does not say whether the ad was taken off the air.
