缅因州民主党参议员候选人格雷厄姆·普拉特纳的妻子于2025年向其竞选团队告知了他向其他女性发送的色情信息。
普拉特纳自2023年11月起结婚的妻子艾米·格特纳，在去年竞选初期的内部审查过程中向竞选团队透露了这些短信内容。《华尔街日报》率先报道了格特纳披露短信一事。
在普拉特纳竞选团队提供的格特纳的一份声明中，她写道，两人已经接受了婚姻咨询，如今他们的婚姻“比以往任何时候都更加稳固”。
“我了解我嫁给的这个男人，也了解他在我人生顺境和逆境中作为丈夫的模样。这一点从未改变，也永远不会改变，”她补充道。
她还提到，自己曾向一名未具名的竞选工作人员分享了“关于我的婚姻的极其私密的细节”。
“我将我们人生中最私密的篇章——也就是我们在考虑任何竞选活动之前的新婚初期——托付给了这个人，我对她的背叛以及对我们隐私的侵犯深感痛心，”格特纳写道。

普拉特纳是推定的民主党候选人，预计将在11月的中期选举中挑战共和党参议员苏珊·柯林斯。此前他的主要民主党初选对手、缅因州州长珍妮特·米尔斯已于4月退出竞选。普拉特纳此前曾因多条有问题的网络评论以及他在海军陆战队服役期间纹的、被广泛认为是纳粹标志的纹身引发争议，后来他遮盖了该纹身。
缅因州参议院竞选的获胜者预计将在中期选举后对哪个政党控制参议院发挥关键作用。普拉特纳已获得进步党参议员伯尼·桑德斯和伊丽莎白·沃伦的背书，并与他们一同开展竞选活动。他以工人阶级背景为核心，打出了更为民粹主义的竞选旗号。
在4月接受哥伦比亚广播公司新闻主播梅杰·加勒特《外卖节目》采访时，普拉特纳称他此前的争议性观点源于创伤后应激障碍，以及他曾服役的那个他描述为“一个大男子主义至上、极端暴力的场所”的军队环境。
“步兵部队里我们的幽默感很粗俗。我想说，我们对很多话题的看法都很狭隘，这影响了我的观点和信念，”普拉特纳说。“在那之后的这些年里，我结识了更多的人，拥有了更多的经历，也对世界有了更多的了解。我的观点也随之改变了。”

The wife of Democratic Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner told his campaign in 2025 about sexual messages he had sent to other women.
Amy Gertner, whom Platner has been married to since November 2023, told the campaign about the texts during an internal vetting process last year at the beginning of his campaign. Gertner’s disclosure of the texts were first reported by the Wall Street Journal.
In a statement from Gertner provided by the Platner campaign, she wrote that they have gone through counseling and that their marriage today “is stronger than ever before.”
“I know the man I married and the husband he has been to me on the best and the worst days of my life. That hasn’t changed, and it won’t,” she added.
She also notes how she shared “deeply personal details about my marriage” to an unnamed campaign staffer.
“I trusted this person with the most private chapter of our lives — the early days of our marriage before any campaign was on our mind — and I am deeply hurt by her betrayal and the invasion of our privacy,” Gertner wrote.

Platner is the presumptive Democratic nominee who will likely be taking on Republican Sen. Susan Collins in the November midterm elections after his main Democratic primary opponent, Maine Gov. Janet Mills, dropped out of the race in April. He has faced controversy over several problematic internet comments he made, as well as for a tattoo he got during his time in the Marines that is widely recognized as a Nazi symbol. He later covered the tattoo up.
The winner of the Maine Senate race is expected to play a key role in which party controls the chamber after the midterms. Platner has been endorsed by, and campaigned with, progressive Sens. Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren. He has ran a more populist campaign centered around his working-class background.
In an April interview with CBS News’ Major Garrett on “The Takeout,” Platner said previous controversial opinions he held were due to post-traumatic stress disorder, as well as to his time serving in a military that he described as “a hyper-masculine, hyper-violent place.”
“We have a crude sense of humor in the infantry. We certainly have a, I would say, narrow view of a lot of topics, and that colored my opinions and my beliefs,” Platner said. “Over the years in between, I met a lot more people, had a lot more experiences, learned a lot more about the world. And my opinions have changed with it.”
