The Maine Democrats running to replace Graham Platner as their party’s nominee for Senate are seeking to turn the page from the former standard-bearer without abandoning his supporters.
At least seven Democrats are competing in what’s been a two-week campaign for the nomination to take on Republican Sen.

The process is poised to culminate with a party convention in Bangor on July 25, two days before state law requires the Maine Democratic Party to select a new nominee.
