Neutral Summary
A Republican super PAC, Defending Main Street, mistakenly ran digital advertisements intended for Maine voters in the Portland, Oregon television market. The ads, targeting Democratic Senate nominee Troy Jackson in his race against incumbent Senator Susan Collins, reportedly reached over 1.3 million viewers across Oregon and Washington state due to a vendor error. The PAC's CFO identified the vendor as Cross Screen Media and stated that a corrected campaign has since been launched in Maine.
