Biography
Ashley Webb, an independent artist, published author and patient advocate from Farmington, Maine, who ran as a certified write-in Democratic candidate, lost the November 3, 2026 election for U.S. Senate in Maine to Troy Jackson. She sought the Democratic nomination after Graham Platner withdrew and took part in a televised debate before the party chose Troy Jackson.[1][2][3]
Basic profile — the most important sourced facts we found.
Webb describes herself as an independent artist, published author and patient advocate from Farmington, Maine, and Ballotpedia lists her career experience as working as an advocate.[2] She said her campaign was built on years of hands-on advocacy work, and she cited her experience as a patient navigating the health care system.[2]
Webb sought the Democratic nomination to fill the vacancy left by Platner's withdrawal and took part in one televised debate for it. She lost at the July 25, 2026 Democratic convention, which Jackson won.[1][2] She then qualified as a declared write-in candidate for the November general election, which Maine was set to count by ranked-choice voting.[1] Webb lost to Troy Jackson, according to unofficial results reported by NBC News.[3]
Webb's stated priorities were health care reform focused on patients and clinicians, investment in rural infrastructure, including a proposed new highway corridor linking Farmington and Skowhegan to the interstate system, and government accountability to constituents.[2][5]
