8. Platner's wife

“I confided deeply personal details about my marriage to someone I considered a friend,” she said. “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.”

“Our marriage today is stronger than ever before,” she added. “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.”

“We did the hard work that marriage requires. We went to counseling. We were honest with each other in ways that weren’t easy. And we came through it.”

“The Maine that we love so much is under attack,” Ms. Gertner said. “And I know that he’s the right person to do the job.”
