The Maine Senate candidate’s wife, Amy Gertner, said she found it “shameful” that media outlets and others had “spread gossip” instead of focusing on “real issues” he is running on.

The wife of Democratic Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner told his campaign in 2025 about sexual messages he had sent to other women.

Graham Platner's wife told a campaign aide last summer that she had previously found “sexually explicit texts with several women” on his phone.
