New York Times: “More than two dozen interviews, reviews of his financial documents and a visit to his hometown reveal a back story that defies easy categorization, complicating the blue-collar image cultivated by Mr. Platner and his campaign.”
“Mr. Platner is an oysterman, a combat veteran and a former harbor master from tiny Sullivan. He is also the son of a Dartmouth College-educated lawyer, the grandson of a famed Connecticut architect and a graduate of a private high school.”
“His parents have offered him privileges and connections and have helped him financially.“
