Overview
- Federal Election Commission records list Ben Martello as treasurer after Victoria Perrone resigned earlier in the week.
- The treasurer change follows the exit of national finance director Ronald Holmes III, who said his professional standards no longer aligned with the campaign.
- Local and national reports say a campaign manager and former political director Genevieve McDonald also left, with McDonald pointing to a Totenkopf-style tattoo and past online posts.
- The campaign told Axios that nearly 90% of its funds come from small-dollar and online donors and said Holmes’ role focused on cultivating large contributors.
- Platner is competing with Gov. Janet Mills in the Democratic primary, and the winner is set to face Republican Sen. Susan Collins in 2026.
