AGP Executive Report

Last update: 7 hours ago

Maine Politics: Democrats are scrambling in the run-up to Maine’s June 9 primary as U.S. Senate nominee Graham Platner faces fresh allegations about “toxic” behavior toward ex-girlfriends, while national figures and local party leaders debate whether it’s too late to “cut bait.” Elections & Voting: Secretary of State Shenna Bellows is stepping back from election duties for the primary, with deputies handling polling visits and ranked-choice tabulation; officials say full results could take more than a week. Transportation: MaineDOT will temporarily close the I-95 westbound ramp at Western Avenue in Augusta for repaving, and crews also plan pavement resurfacing in Lisbon, Auburn, and Lewiston, plus Benton Avenue work in Winslow/Benton. Weather: Wet, unsettled conditions continue with showers and isolated thunderstorms possible, including a chance of damaging storms Saturday. Sports & Community: Maine’s state outdoor track championships wrapped up statewide, and Portland’s Old Port Half Marathon/5K is set for Saturday morning. Local Life: A proposed underwater AI data center near Eastport is drawing calls for a temporary moratorium. Obituaries: Clifford N. Harris, Robert E. Williams Sr., Louise Ouellette Quirion, Brent W. Fox, Paul Leo Krizinauskas, and Brenda Fleury were among those remembered this week.
