AGP Executive Report

Last update: 9 hours ago

Maine Senate race: With Maine’s June 9 primaries days away, Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Graham Platner kept campaigning while facing fresh allegations reported by the New York Times; Bernie Sanders reiterated support, and Platner told supporters “Maine, you have my back” as Democrats weigh whether to stay unified. Local politics & turnout: Maine candidates for governor and Congress made final weekend pushes, including stops at Westbrook’s Together Days and Hallowell Pride events, with door-knocking and phone banking continuing through Tuesday. Transportation: MaineDOT will temporarily close the I-95 westbound ramp at Western Avenue in Augusta for weather-dependent repaving starting Sunday June 7 or Monday June 8, with a signed detour. Public safety: Calais police say a man pulled a sword during a traffic stop and officers fired, sending him to the hospital; the Attorney General’s Office will investigate the deadly force. National Guard: Maine Army National Guard soldiers held a sendoff before deploying to U.S. Central Command for about a year. Weather: Wet weather and scattered showers are expected to continue into Sunday. Sports: Maine-Endwell softball advanced in NYSPHSAA Class A, winning 13-5 over Depew and moving to the state semifinals.
