In Maine, a brewery owner and an oyster farmer hope to upend the establishment and oust Susan Collins from the Senate

snip***

Mills, who is term-limited, has said she is “seriously considering” running for Senate and signaled she intends to make a decision by November. Collins has said she plans to run but hasn’t officially launched her campaign. The incumbent didn’t announce her 2020 re-election bid until December 2019.

More than half a dozen Democrats have entered the race to unseat Collins, including Dan Kleban, the co-founder of Maine Beer Company; Graham Platner, a Marine veteran and oyster farmer; and Jordan Wood, who served as a chief of staff to former Rep. Katie Porter.
