Maine Democrat Troy Jackson Channels Zohran Mamdani – Backs Government Seizure of Private Property (VIDEO) * The Gateway Pundit * by Mike LaChance

Troy Jackson is the far left Democrat who replaced Graham Platner, after his campaign imploded due to credible allegations of rape.

In terms of ideology, Jackson appears to be aligned with New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani. He apparently agrees with the idea of using the government to seize private property.

It’s hard to believe that rugged Mainers would support this.

Government land-grab agenda hits key Senate race as Dem backs property takeovers echoing Mamdani

Graham Platner’s replacement in the Maine Senate race suggested the government should be able to take over private property when necessary, appearing to echo socialist New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s housing agenda.

Troy Jackson, a Democrat running for the Senate, came under fire for suggesting the government should be able to take over private property when necessary. The comments drew fresh scrutiny to a candidate the Pine Tree State’s GOP chair previously dubbed “Maine’s Mamdani” to Fox News Digital, as debates over government intervention in housing and private ownership gain new attention.

“It’s a major issue. The greed that’s happening right now in this country that people in mobile home parks are feeling is like something I’ve never seen,” Jackson told a small crowd of residents at Blueberry Ridge Mobile Village, one of several Maine trailer parks where concerns about costs, quality-of-life and ownership arose.

“The other thing that I do hear a lot about, too, is how [landlords] won’t do anything for services. And that is completely unfair and not right. And we have to make that change. I feel strongly that if needed, the state should be able to come in [and] take these places over. Some people will say that that’s insane,” Jackson told the residents in Wells, the town next to the politically-notable Kennebunkport.

“But until the people get the chance to start a co-op or whatever, there should be a way to hold these, so that you don’t see private-equity coming in and making the killing on these parks.”

So the state shouldn’t be allowed to enforce immigration, but it should be allowed to seize private property from citizens?

This is today’s Democrat Party.
