‘I’ve gotten 5 anti-Troy Jackson ads in the last 24 hours,’ an Oregon resident wrote on social media. ‘I choose to believe they mixed up Portlands’

A Republican group’s attempt to boost Maine Sen. Susan Collins landed thousands of miles off target when its advertisement ran in Portland, Oregon — not Portland, Maine.

The ad, created by Defending Main Street SuperPAC Inc., targets Collins’ opponent, Democratic Senate nominee Troy Jackson, MS NOW reported. Titled “So Many Taxes,” the ad zeroes in on Jackson’s tax policy record, accusing him of increasing costs for Maine residents.

As much as $25,000 was spent to run the spot in and around Portland, Oregon.
