“The race has never really been about me or any one person,” said Platner. “It’s about a movement of working Mainers who are fed up with being robbed by billionaires and the politicians who own them. We are now taking back our power.”

Platner vowed to defeat incumbent Sen. Susan Collins (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.”

Platner was joined by several Maine Democrats who were on hand to endorse his Senate bid.
