Democrat Troy Jackson defeated Republican Sen. Susan Collins in Maine, CBS News projected, after Collins conceded overnight1,2.

Maine Morning Star said Collins released a statement shortly before 12:30 a.m. saying it had been the honor of her life to serve 30 years and that she had called Jackson to congratulate him and promise a smooth transition2. Boston.com said she was ending a bid for a sixth term4.

As of 12:18 a.m., the Associated Press showed Jackson at 52% and Collins at 48% with 69% of votes counted, Maine Morning Star reported2. Jackson, a former logger and Maine Senate president from Allagash, entered the race late, the Star said2.

Al Jazeera said Republican groups spent $76 million on the race compared with $40 million by Democrats, while Jackson’s campaign raised $26.9 million and Collins $25.2 million through mid-October3. Maine Morning Star called it the most expensive Senate race in state history2.

Collins has served since 1997 and has been chair of the Senate Appropriations Committee3,4. Boston.com quoted her saying that role was a once-in-a-century chance to help Maine4.
