Yesterday, J. P. Green shared a report on potential U.S. Senate candidates to replace Graham Platner. Already the list has grown, as Aaron Navaro, Sophia Viahakis, Kaia Hubbard, Joe Walsh, Gabriella Biello, and Maria Sullivan report at cbsnews.com. Additional candidates include:

David Costello

A native of Bangor and former government official in Maine and Maryland, David Costello previously ran against Platner for the Democratic Senate nomination, and said that if Platner dropped out, “I’m back in.”

Costello won 8.1% of the vote in last month’s primary, trailing Platner (72.1%) and Maine Gov. Janet Mills (19.2%), who had suspended her campaign but remained on the ballot. He was also the Democratic nominee in the 2024 Maine Senate race, though the winner of that race — incumbent Sen. Angus King, an independent — caucuses with Democrats.

Costello raised just over $30,000 from donors and lent his campaign more than $100,000 during this year’s Senate run.

Valli Geiger

State Rep. Valli Geiger, a close ally of Platner’s, has indicated interest in replacing him on the ballot.

The 70-year-old told WMTW that Platner was supporting her bid. But she later clarified that she is one of “several people” who have supported Platner and with whom he was speaking.

A nurse and resident of the coastal town of Rockland, Geiger has served in the state Legislature for three terms.

…Paige Loud

Paige Loud, a 29-year-old social worker, filed to run for Senate shortly before Platner ended his campaign. After he dropped out, Loud wrote on social media that “Mainers deserve more than a hand-picked replacement whose morality only kicked in at the last minute.”

Loud ran in the Democratic House primary for Maine’s 2nd Congressional District last month, coming in fourth place with 10.4% of the vote. She contributed around $30,000 to her own campaign and raised about $17,000.

…Jordan Wood

Jordan Wood, who previously sought the Senate seat last year before dropping out to run in a House race, announced he’s hoping to replace Platner on the ballot.

Wood, a 36-year-old native of Lewiston, Maine, previously worked as chief of staff to Democratic Rep. Katie Porter before founding an organization focused on combating election denialism. He launched his campaign for Senate last year before pivoting to run for a House seat to replace moderate Democratic Rep. Jared Golden in Maine’s red-leaning 2nd Congressional District, where he fell short last month.

…”If I am a nominee for Senate, I’ll lead the fight to pass Medicare for All, pass sweeping anti-corruption reform, and stand up to Trump’s lawlessness,” he said.”
