"When #JamieIsaacson received an application in his mailbox earlier this month to help choose the #Maine #DemocraticParty’s next #US #Senate #nominee at Saturday’s #nominatingconvention, he wasn’t interested.

Platner vowed to defeat incumbent Sen. #SusanCollins (R-Maine), but he said the ultimate goal is to “start tearing down the system that, for too long, has forgotten and written off the people who make Maine and this country what it is.”
While powerful national Democrats had backed Mills’ candidacy in the primary, Senate Minority Leader #ChuckSchumer (D-NY) and Senator #KirstenGillibrand (D-NY) endorsed Platner shortly after the #Maine governor suspended her campaign.
