EMILYs List Statement on Graham Platner Dropping Out

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

WASHINGTON, D.C. — EMILYs List president Jessica Mackler released the following statement on Graham Platner dropping out of Maine’s U.S. Senate race: 

“If there’s one lesson Democrats need to take from this, it’s to stop betting on vibe-based candidates with glaring red flags. Voters aren’t looking for a stereotype — they’re looking for authentic leaders who earn their trust, deliver results, and are willing to fight for them. Now Democrats can get back to the work that matters: defeating Susan Collins. Our only path to a Democratic victory over Susan Collins in November relies on a nominee who can connect with women voters, earn their trust, and build the coalition required to win.”
