Graham Platner maintains Kik account as wife flags texts

Maine Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner holds an active profile on the Kik messaging app. His wife Amy Gertner informed campaign aides last year about sexually explicit messages he exchanged with multiple women.

The Wall Street Journal reported on Saturday that Gertner flagged the messages in August 2025. She discovered the texts in spring 2025, months after the couple married in fall 2024. Gertner said she and Platner attended counseling and described their marriage as stronger than before.
