Show Notes
In a heated Democratic primary race for U.S. Senate, supporters of candidate Graham Platner fired back at Governor Janet Mills over an attack ad highlighting Platners past comments on sexual assault. Platner, a combat veteran and oyster farmer, has apologized for those views. Representative Valli Geiger, a Democrat and Platner backer, accused Mills of blocking a bill to fund better tracking of evidence in sexual assault cases, which Mills argued would break rules. Mills later added the funding to her supplemental budget proposal, but Geiger wishes it had come sooner. This exchange highlights the tight race and both sides efforts to secure women voters support on sexual assault issues.
