AGP Executive Report

Last update: 6 hours ago

Maine Politics: Graham Platner has formally withdrawn from Maine’s U.S. Senate race, and the Maine Democratic Party is now scrambling to replace him with a nominee chosen at a July 25 convention in Bangor—601 delegates voting, with a tight July 27 deadline to get the replacement on the November ballot to take on Sen. Susan Collins. Local Community & Health: Tri for a Cure (July 12) hit a fundraising record, topping $2.2 million for the Maine Cancer Foundation, with donations still open. Food & Culture: A new Acadian-focused food truck, T&D Eatery, opened in Madawaska near the Canadian border. Outdoor & Family Fun: The Pemaquid Beach Triathlon (Aug. 23) is set to fund a new accessible playground at Pemaquid Beach Park. Arts & Reading: A book review spotlights “A Long Dark Night,” a literary thriller set in a remote Alaska town shaped by outside forces.
