Overview
- Finance reports released this week show Platner raised $4 million, spent about $5 million, and has $2.7 million left.
- Collins reported $10 million in the bank with light spending and no primary challenger, widening Democrats’ cash gap.
- Mills raised about $2.6 million and now has roughly $1.1 million, far less than both Platner’s haul and Collins’s reserves.
- The rivals are running different plays, with Platner flooding TV and digital while Mills paused ads and shifted to a policy rollout and a statewide tour.
- Recent polls put Platner well ahead for the June 9 Democratic primary, as Republican-aligned groups outspend Democrats on ads shaping views of Collins.
