With the state’s Senate seat hanging in the balance, a flood of candidates are now stepping up, including Troy Jackson (progressive), Nirav Shah (moderate), Dan Kleban (new-gen leader), Shenna Bellows (former candidate), Jordan Wood (last year’s runner), Paige Loud (social worker), and Valli Geiger (former Platner backer). The party’s upcoming nominating convention will decide who gets this high-stakes shot — and they’ve got less than four months to campaign against Collins.
