Graham Platner’s campaign has spent about $2.3 million since July, when he exited Maine’s Senate race.

Platner dropped out July 8, eight days into the quarter covered by the Federal Election Commission report. Nine days later, his campaign paid his wife, Amy Gertner, $20,246 — the largest severance check the campaign issued.
