Troy Jackson, who lost last month’s Democratic primary for Maine governor, has been floated as a possible successor to Platner.

The Maine Democrat floated as a possible replacement for Graham Platner is accused of hitting a woman with a water bottle.

Troy Jackson filed paperwork with the FEC to fundraise for a possible bid if Graham Platner were to suspend his Senate campaign.

A handful of Democrats have rushed to express their interest if scandal-ridden Maine Democratic Senate nominee Graham Platner drops out.

Valli Geiger said Platner also supports former state Sen. Troy Jackson and Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows as possible candidates.

Maine’s Democratic Party has not said how it will go about selecting a new candidate, but a handful have said they are in the race.
