Troy Jackson, running for Gov will hold a Labor Day rally with Bernie.

Sanders is set to headline what organizers are calling a “Fighting Oligarchy” rally.
The event will also feature former Maine Senate President Troy Jackson, who is running for governor, and Graham Platner, a political newcomer who has drawn attention since announcing his candidacy for the U.S. Senate seat currently held by Republican Sen. Susan Collins.
