Janet Mills has been a candidate since October, but she hasn't been a huge visible or audible presence in the race, especially in contrast to her opponent, Platner, whose campaign has been built around steady and relentless engagement with voters.

Platner stated, 'I've never gotten a phone call. Like, no one's ever reached out. I've never talked to anybody in leadership. I've like, no one has ever been interested in ever which is, like, kind of baffling.'

Graham Platner abruptly canceled a campaign event at a New York City gay bar shortly after The Advocate reached out to inquire about the event, leaving the reasoning unclear.

"Graham is a dear friend," Brown told Axios. "I started this campaign Tuesday but found out Friday we have a baby on the way. Graham deserves someone who is 100 percent in on his race and we want to lean into this new experience as a family, so it was best we step back sooner than later so Graham can get the manager he deserves."

"Too often, politics gets stuck in ego and gridlock," González-Rojas said in the video. "I spent my life organizing, advocating and working in diverse coalitions to get things done. I am unwavering in my values and my commitment to our community."
