ME-SEN: Maine brewery owner throws hat in ring to replace Platner
A Maine brewery owner on Wednesday threw his hat in the ring to replace Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner following accusations of rape.
Dan Kleban, owner of Maine Beer Company in Freeport, published a Wednesday Substack post expressing his interest in the nomination after suspending his Senate campaign last October to endorse Maine Gov. Janet Mills (D).
Mills ultimately suspended her campaign in April, citing a lack of financial resources and leaving Platner without a primary challenger.
“I’ve spent years talking to Mainers over a beer in our taproom and throughout the community. We’re all sick and tired of a system that’s been rigged by corporate interests, and we’ve had enough meddling from Washington establishment insiders and New York City consultants trying to dictate who represents us,” Kleban wrote in the post.
