Sentinel Action Fund Statement on Platner Announcement

WASHINGTON – Today, Democrat Graham Platner announced the suspension of his campaign for U.S. Senate in Maine.

Sentinel Action Fund President Jessica Anderson released the following statement:

Both in character and ideology, Graham Platner has always been wrong for Maine. Today’s announcement is the next step in clearing the pathway for voters to re-elect Senator Susan Collins, a trusted public servant for Maine who will always protect the state’s values and be Mainers’ voice in Washington. Maine doesn’t want more scandals from Graham Platner and the Left: They want the strong and common sense leadership that Senator Susan Collins has always brought to the table.
