AGP Executive Report

Last update: 3 hours ago

Maine Senate Shake-Up: Maine Democrats formally crowned former state Senate president and logger Troy Jackson as their U.S. Senate nominee, replacing Graham Platner after Platner withdrew amid a sexual assault allegation he denied; Jackson won the delegate vote in Bangor and now faces longtime GOP Sen. Susan Collins in a high-stakes, must-win race that could decide control of the chamber. Corrections Update: A person incarcerated at Cumberland County Jail was found unresponsive late Friday night and died; investigators are looking into the cause and manner of death. Weather Watch: Maine is set for a quieter weekend, but rain chances ramp up Tuesday through Thursday with possible heavy downpours. Local Calendar: Camden Hills State Park offers a ranger-led hike to Ocean Lookout, and Colonial Pemaquid hosts 17th-century history programming with Wabanaki canoe demonstrations. National/World: Wildfires in France and Spain have displaced hundreds of thousands, and Yemen’s Houthis say they fired missiles and drones at Saudi Arabia.
