Mainers Want Fresh New Faces to Repesent them in Washington, DC Such as Oyster Farmer and US Marine Vet Graham Platner, 41.  He Served Three Deployments with the US Marines in Iraq and One Deployment with the National Guard in Afghanistan.

Graham for Maine Campaign Manager, Ben Chin, released the following statement in response to Governor Mills’ decision to launch an attack ad against Graham about comments he made online over a decade ago.  Graham responded to those posts from over a decade ago in October.  And he held nearly 50 town halls all across the state to answer questions from Mainers.  Janet Mlls has held 0.

“This is nothing more than a desperate attempt for relevance from the governor, who is trailling an oyster farmer in every recent poll.  It is why people hate politics and why not enough real people run for office:  DC insiders who are so obsessed with their own power and threatened by someone who is building an actual movement of working people, that they launch a barrage of attacks to try to tear Graham down.  Despite what Janet Mills and DC think, Mainers know that Graham should not be defined by the worst thing he said on the internet over a decade ago.

Graham’s gone all across the state talking to Mainers at nearly 50 town halls about their lives, their future and defeating Susan Collins, while Janet Mlls has run a campaign behind closed doors, rooted in the past and aligned with the same insiders who have failed this state.

Now, Janet Mills is spending money and resources attacking another Democrat.  Graham is focused on running a campaign that will beat Susan Collins and the billionaires who are making life harder for working people.”

Graham lives in Sullivan with his wife, Amy, just three doors down from the house where he grew up.
