ICYMI: MEGOP previewed AOC’s stop in Maine

Chair Deyermond Previews AOC's Socialist Stopover In Maine

OCTOBER 21, 2026

AUGUSTA — Maine GOP Chairman and former state trooper Jim Deyermond made it clear that infamous NYC Socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s visit to prop up fellow DSA fan Troy Jackson is Troy Jackson’s closing argument to voters.

“AOC and her DSA policies are Troy Jackson’s closing argument to voters,” Chairman Deyermond said. “AOC is on the ballot with Troy Jackson because he brought her to Maine. A New York socialist is what Troy Jackson wants Mainers to think of when we vote. AOC and Troy are extreme politicians. Reject their dangerous, expensive policies.”
