Maine Oysterman Runs for Senate, Says Democrats Failing to Fight Fascism
Graham Platner, a Maine oysterman and former Marine, is running for US Senate with a campaign rooted in working-class politics. His platform includes Medicare for all, affordable housing initiatives, and a billionaire minimum tax. Platner believes the Democratic party has lost touch with working-class Americans and advocates for a more populist approach to combat rising fascism. His campaign, which has gained traction, is built on his military experience, disillusionment with US foreign policy, and a desire to represent the interests of his community. Platner is challenging the status quo, including incumbent Senator Susan Collins, and seeks to offer a more authentic and relatable voice for Maine voters.
