Planned Parenthood Endorses Graham Platner for Maine Senate Seat

In local news, Planned Parenthood has endorsed Democrat Graham Platner for a Maine Senate seat. This decision comes despite controversy surrounding Platner's primary run. The endorsement is notable given the alternative, incumbent Republican Susan Collins, who Planned Parenthood views as insufficiently committed to reproductive rights. Collins' vote to confirm Justice Brett Kavanaugh was cited as a reason for the endorsement.
