Showing Original Post only (View all)DSA sent out a letter telling DSA candidates and elected officials to no longer work with Morris Katz or Fight Agency [View all]
We, the undersigned, call on DSA candidates and elected officials to no longer contract or work with Morris Katz or Fight Agency, his political consulting firm, the letter reads.
Morris Katz is one of the chief parties responsible for the catastrophic campaign of scandal-ridden Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner, the letter says. Billed as a top adviser to the campaign, Katz helped recruit Platner and supercharged his candidacy with slick video production, friendly media placements, and political connections.

I'm sorry but I'm getting very concerned that Platner is not going to withdraw, which will force Democrats to attempt a write-in campaign, the vote will be split and Collins will be the benefactor. **Update** Platner has withdrawn
update: Bluesky post with a link to letter included

OP
She'd interned for Ted Kennedy and later worked for a presidential campaign before running, not new to politics.

You said : 'I'd love to see AOC speak up. She was the only DSA elected to decline endorsing Platner.'

He received a lot of credit for Mamdani, but it was Tish James, AOC and Mamdani himself

What about Moraff? Not looking for a bloodbath, just the person most responsible for vetting. nt
