8. The senior organizing and political director for the Maine Democratic Party is Jay Bowie, not Spencer Toth.

Spencer Toth was the organizing director of Graham Platner's senate primary campaign, and when Platner won the primary, Toth was absorbed into the state party's infrastructure to run the the general election coordinated campaign for Senate. Had Platner not won the primary, Spencer Toth would have no role in the Maine Democratic Party other than member.

It was probably a wise, face-saving move for Toth to resign now. Once Platner withdraws, Toth's role would have been gone as well so that the new candidate can choose their own team member to run the the general election coordinated campaign for Senate.
