Valli Geiger, a Rockland Democrat, former nurse and former mayor, is drawing sudden national attention after saying Democratic Senate nominee Graham Platner encouraged her to consider taking his place on the ballot in the Maine Senate race. Geiger has not been named the replacement nominee, however, her name entered the Maine Senate scramble after she told local outlet WMTW that Platner called her Monday night, praised her as a “fighter” and asked whether he could put her name forward.
