Graham Platner to speak at labor rally, one of his first public events since ending his Maine campaign
The rally will feature musical performances and a speech on unions as Platner makes one of his first public appearances since leaving the race.
- Former U.S. Senate candidate Graham Platner will headline a "Labor Day Rally for Labor" on September 7 outside Ellsworth City Hall, organized by Hancock County Activists to discuss union history and organized labor's role in communities.
- Platner withdrew from the Senate race in July following sexual assault allegations, which he denied; the state party subsequently nominated former Maine Senate President Troy Jackson to challenge Republican Sen. Susan Collins.
- Former Maine Democratic Party Vice Chair Peggy Schaffer criticized the rally, calling it "an unforced error," while the Maine Democratic Party stated it has no affiliation with the event, citing distance from the former candidate.
- Jackson currently leads Collins 48%-46% in a Fox News poll released Tuesday, though Maine Republican Party spokeswoman Kristina Parker claimed the event indicates Democrats remain "out of touch" with Maine voters.
- The Hancock County Democratic Committee promoted the rally on Facebook and Instagram on Thursday morning before removing both posts within hours, though the event remained listed on the committee's website as of Thursday afternoon.
