The DNC congratulates Graham Platner on winning Maine’s Democratic primary for U.S. Senate — a seat that will be highly competitive this November. Voters throughout the state turned out to back candidates who are relentlessly focused on making life more affordable, protecting workers, and delivering for Mainers.
In response to Graham Platner’s victory, DNC Chair Ken Martin released the following statement:
“In less than a year, Graham Platner built a grassroots movement around putting working Mainers first — ahead of corporations, special interests, and the ultra-wealthy. While Susan Collins cuts healthcare, increases everyday costs, undercuts workers, and rubberstamps Donald Trump’s extreme agenda, Graham will focus on making life more affordable while delivering for communities across Maine. The DNC is ready to help organize and mobilize voters to defeat Susan Collins, take back the Senate, and prioritize the concerns of working families.”
