Ronald Holmes, national finance director for Democratic Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner, resigned Friday after saying his professional standards no longer aligned with the campaign — the third senior departure amid scrutiny of Platner’s past posts and a tattoo resembling a Nazi symbol. The campaign stressed its reliance on small-dollar fundraising despite the shake-up.
Kevin Brown, newly hired to run Graham Platner’s Maine Senate campaign, has left the job days after starting, citing a family development. The exit adds to recent turbulence for the Democrat’s bid as controversies over old Reddit posts and a Nazi-linked tattoo continue to reverberate. Platner remains locked in a volatile primary that now includes Governor Janet Mills.
