Graham Platner in South Berwick!
About this event
This is Graham Platner. I’m holding my first town hall in South Berwick on Sunday, March 8th – and I’d like to meet you.
Billionaires have bought up both parties and are slowly crushing the working and middle class of this country. Our politicians are bought and paid for, and Maine is becoming totally unaffordable for all except a privileged few.
I’m a Marine and Army combat veteran, an oyster farmer, and harbormaster. Independent (or “unenrolled”) voters can now vote in the Democratic Primary for the first time. I hope you can come out to the Marshwood High School Theatre on Sunday, March 8th to ask questions and hear about our platform. Can you join us?
