Blatner, an ancient army warrior who has turned into oyster farms, postpones his nomination as a battle against what he calls the “billionaire economy”.

These positions were directly placed in the progressive camp and opened it to criticism that it is out of the step with the moderates of Maine despite its veteran credentials.

Meanwhile, the Republicans in Mine’s state rushed to Platler’s paint as outside the state. “Graham is the progress of the far left, supported by progressive national activists and environmental extremists. Likewise, a Colines spokesman rejected him as” just progressive progress. “

Blatner also brought Joe Cavillo, a former senior assistant for Senator John Vitirman, de Ba, as part of his campaign team, and his strategic democratic exploited Maurice Katz, adviser to the nominee of the mayor of New York City Zahran Mamdani, to produce his release video.
